Volunteer: True ConnectionsBe a part of a brand new opportunity! RSVP’s Intergenerational Programs is piloting a new program this year called True Connections. True Connections is a hybrid Computer Buddy/In-Person program that offers the opportunity to support student literacy skill development while also forging a meaningful intergenerational relationship. Volunteers are paired with one fourth or fifth-grade student for the duration of the school year. The program provides both monthly in-person connections and weekly electronic pen pal-type writing through a blog platform to encourage a deep connection with the student throughout the school year. Program participants are asked to view a recorded training prior to the first Meetup. Mileage reimbursement is available for the in-person Meetups. The program kicks off with an In-Person Meetup on Monday, September 29, at 3:30 pm at Lake View Elementary. Each monthly meetup will include an activity focused on an area of life connection. (ie: food, music, arts, literature, etc.) Weekly electronic pen pal communications continue to develop the relationship by co-creating ideas and deepening connections between in-person Meetups.
