Weaving Hearts

Description

Originally launched in January 2019, this intergenerational program celebrates Latino(x) culture. It was developed to address the elevated barriers older adults who are immigrants or who have limited English proficiency face when accessing services, the increased risk for social isolation, and the demonstrated gap in tech use, access, and skills among older adults, especially older adult minority populations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the program has provided social engagement activities via Zoom. Tablets and hotspots were distributed to participants and computer training was provided to ensure participation in online classes.
