"Dancing with the Golden Stars"

"Dancing with the Golden Stars" is the only Intergenerational program in our area. It's our spin off of the hit television show, "Dancing with the Stars." Our program has it's differences though. Instead of pairing up with a celebrity, we partner up with senior citizens at the Ingram Senior Center, in Salem, New Hampshire. Our goal is to have fun, learn how to ballroom dance and create a bonding experience with a people that are part of a different genereation. We rehearse every Wednesday from two-thirty to four o'clocke in the afternoon for ten weeks.

Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program

I'm currently working as an Americorps member at Area 10 Agency on Aging in lovely Bloomington, Indiana as the coordinator for the federal initiative, Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP). The goal of this project is to connect low income senior citizens, 185% of poverty or less, with access to fresh, nutritious, locally grown fruits and vegetables through support of domestic agriculture and community.
