    Sweet Readers: After School Programs

    Sweet Readers: After School Programs CalenderRecently Updated

    Overview

    Sweet Readers empowers young people to change the course of Alzheimer's as they help and learn from those in need. Sweet Readers' intergenerational programs pair middle school students ages 11-14 (called Sweet Readers) and adults in a group setting in school classrooms, eldercare centers and museums.

    The programs meet weekly and over the course of six weeks, participants together explore and create art, music, poetry and/or movement as they discover each other. Sessions are led by a trained facilitator with a customized Sweet Readers curriculum. Our programs foster a warm, inclusive feeling of community during which everyone has a vital purpose.

    Our After-School Programs provide afternoon programming for our adult participants (who attend on their own, with their care partners, or as part of an eldercare center), opportunities for Sweet Readers to continue with the program outside of their school experience and for students, whose schools do not provide Sweet Readers, to participate.
