- Kate Friends for the Ages will also offer various arts and crafts events which will serve as an artistic outlet for the elderly. It will provide them with an opportunity to exercise their creative thinking as well as allow them to socialize with others. For those who are passionate about reading, we will hold a book club event in which participants are able to discuss, read and share their favourite books with others. Reading is also known to help improve one’s memory and sharpen decision making-skills. Group exercise events will also be held to help keep the elders active. It will help promote good health while also building community as people participate together.
- Allison with the money that Friends for the Ages receives for our organization, venues will be leased and rented to accommodate our various events and the needs of those we’re helping
- Justin Media platforms, such as television advertisements and our Instagram page, will be used to advertise our cause and our upcoming events once they are set. Posters up around communities will also be put into place to make the community aware of of who we are and what we plan to do. commercials posters advertising events
- Kacie Our program would benefit any elder in the community that would like to participate. In addition, our teen volunteers benefit from friendships with the older generation through learning experiences.
- Elliott Secure a venue and vehicles for transportation while working with nonprofits Finalize a schedule for events Fundraise for the money to run the program Advertise and spread awareness… gain elderly and teen volunteers who want to build connections
- Breanna Run first events, make sure they go smoothly Outreach for supplies/games… have permanent means (funds, supplies) to keep program running
- Kiara Step three of our action plan is to continue to run existing events as well as improve upon these events. We will do this by collecting feedback from participants, making changes to existing events and possibly even creating new events. And of course, we will continue to advertise and encourage people to participate.
