H2O is integrating generations in a fun and engaging environment.
With start of pandemic we also started our virtual intergenerational meetings. We started our pilot projects at the Positive Thinkers Group (PTG). PTG is a senior activity group established by self-help author Chuck Gallozzi on September 11, 1999. Every week PTG and H2O Student Volunteers get together for a friendly meeting, respectful discussion and great interaction virtually through ZOOM. They learn from each other and enjoy their time at PTG. On October 1st, 2020, we started our very own H2O Intergeneration Group Meetings (HIGI).
Ever wonder what it’s like to be part of our intergenerational (HIGI) sessions? Let’s hear from Betty on her first experience at HIGI. It was a pleasure having her join our discussions!
