Better Together Fellowship 5781
...CCM's Better Together Intergenerational Project for 2020-21 (5781)
About the Project:
The 5781 B'Yachad Better Together Fellowship is Midrasha's intergenerational chevruta (partnership) program. Participating in this project gives you 20 hours toward community service requirements. You will have a monthly interactive session over Zoom with a small group of teens and elders on Zoom. You will also have a monthly training and planning meeting with your teen fellows. The program runs from September 2020 - May 2021.
If you are looking for ways to make a difference in our community this year, we ask: Did you find yourself feeling lonely during this pandemic? Want to help elders who live nearby who also feel isolated during the Quarantine? Join us this year to connect, grow, and laugh with a group of elders who live at Reutlinger and in our community.
- Teens will join a monthly cohort of other B'Yachad Fellows teens (one session each month on Wednesday 6:00 - 7:00 pm) to learn about living as an elder today and to design each month's conversation with our partner elders.
- Second, you pick one time slot: Sunday 11 am or 3:45 pm or Monday at 7 pm to converse over Zoom with a small group of teens and elders, learning about each other. This project gives you 20 hours toward community service requirements.
