It Takes a Community to Care for Older Adults
Supporting the Next Generation and Volunteers



"How to Communicate With Older Adults"
 
Volunteer and Girl Scout Marley Uyemura wanted to help her peers better understand how to interact and communicate with older adults. Her interest and efforts have resulted in a hands-on class, and is the focus of her Girl Scout Gold Award Project. Partnering with KEIRO, Marley has shared the informative content with over 75 high school aged participants through her
"How to Communicate With Older Adults" workshops held at the former KEIRO facilities. Her final workshop is scheduled for Saturday, November 5, 2016 (1pm - 4pm) Kei-Ai South Bay Healthcare Center.

KEIRO is also collaborating with Kizuna through their Service Learning program which introduces community service and other concepts to high schools students through projects that bring together student cohorts and a community organization.

Grants Program: 
Deadline Reminder and Feedback on Early Application Submissions!

Application Deadline is November 15, 2016. 

Preliminary and non-binding feedback for applications received by Monday, OCTOBER 31, 2016.

Preliminary review does not mean an earlier approval process, but having input from grants review staff will likely result in a stronger proposal. We look forward to receiving and reviewing proposals from organizations that serve older adults and their caregivers in the Japanese American and Japanese community in Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura Counties. 

Guidelines, applications, and further information about the Grants Program can be found at www.keiro.org/grants
THANK YOU Volunteers!

Volunteers supporting residents of KEIRO's former facilities were given the opportunity by KEIRO to participate in the popular Smart Driver classroom course presented in partnership with AARP, as a "thank you" for their continued support of the residents. KEIRO sponsored the course, paying the fees and hosting lunch for the volunteers.
