The Jewish Home and Care Center, Chai Point Senior Living and Sarah Chudnow Community have this summer started new efforts to provide beneficial activities and programs for both senior residents and the youth of the Milwaukee Jewish community.
Intergenerational programming began at SCC with addition of the Kinder Klatch and Baby Talk programs. These provide information about seniors and aging to children and young adults in an age-appropriate manner and help to build appreciation and acceptance between generations.
Readers who have ideas for future intergenerational programming for the 2014-2015 school year or are interested in getting students involved should contact Julie Shlensky, Posner Chair for Intergenerational Programming, at jshlensky@jewishseniorliving.org or 414-721-9253.
These programs are made possible by a grant from the Gene and Ruth Posner Foundation.
