Lori's Hands' mission is to build mutually beneficial partnerships between community members with chronic illness and college students, fostering empathy, connection, and resilience. Students provide practical assistance to support community members’ independence at home, and community members share their health and life experiences to support students’ learning. Lori’s Hands’ unique intergenerational model addresses challenges faced by individuals with chronic illness who are aging in place. Through customized training, we equip college student volunteers to make weekly visits to help community members with day-to-day tasks (such as grocery shopping, organizing a closet, or running the vacuum) that can be made challenging by chronic disease. While improving clients’ independence, students provide essential social support, increasing community connectedness and reducing loneliness. Our clients educate students about their experiences living with chronic illness, navigating the healthcare system, and aging, providing real-world education to future professionals. We are currently operating in Newark, DE; Baltimore, MD; and Metro Detroit, MI.

This is an undergraduate course that engages students in weekly visits ("buddies") to adults in the Early Stage of Alzheimer's Disease ("mentors"). We pair an NYU student with an older adult and they provide companionship and activities for them, while providing much-needed respite for the caregiver. The weekly classroom component integrates a biopsychosocial perspective on the disease, utilizing readings, videos and guest speakers. Of note, is that most of our students are not social work majors - they hail from a variety of disciplines which is very exciting and inspiring!

The Intergenerational Conversations on Ageism toolkit provides you with activities and guidelines for facilitating in-person or virtual conversations. Ageism is the stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination against people on the basis of their age, and it's pervasive! It can be directed toward younger people and older people. It can also show up in our own self-beliefs, which is called internalized ageism. Ultimately, it reduces opportunities and diminishes us all. Bringing people of all ages together to discuss their experiences with aging and ageism is an opportunity to find common ground.
