Program Purpose:
To overcome the isolation experienced by the residents of nursing
care and assisted living facilities, while making the wisdom, talents
and cultures of these residents available to the community.
History:
I-You Venture was founded in 1974 as a response to an identified community
need and has touched the lives of tens of thousands of care facility
residents and I-You Venture volunteers.
Service Description:
I-You Venture recruits, orients and places volunteers with residents
of local care facilities. Volunteers are involved in a broad range
of activities from small groups
involved
in projects
like Ageless Art
and Holiday Helpers, to the quiet intimacy of one-to-one visiting.

Proyecto Tú y Yo:
Ayuda a superar el aislamiento y la soledad que sufren e diario las personas que viven en centros de cuidado
residencial. Mostramos a la comunidad la gran riqueza de recursos y el amor que los residentes de estos
centros ofrecen. Los voluntarios del Proyecto Tú y Yo participan en una amplia gama de actividades con los
residentes, como grupos de movimiento, lectura y arte, o la tranquila intimidad de las visitas individuales.
Nuestro Proyecto Ageless Art introduce grupos de arte visual y expresivo a los centros de cuidado residencial.
Los grupos son dirigidos por artistas voluntarios que ofrecen apoyo y orientación continua.
