Seniors to Seniors

WPHHA is excited to present the Seniors to Seniors program.

THE POWER OF A LETTER

Seniors to Seniors gives high school seniors an opportunity to form a pen pal relationship with a local senior, communicating through letter writing throughout their senior year. The program will span a time frame of 9 months, with an appreciation lunch for all participants at closing. Participants in the program will receive stationary and pre-addressed envelopes and will have 9 thought provoking topics to discuss throughout the year. Each participant will mail one letter a month, the high school senior initiating the program.

The goal of this program is to encourage community awareness, education, emotional support and mentorship for both participants. Ability to learn from one another, proving that you are never to old or young to see a situation from a different point of view. Senior to Senior will invoke thought and allow both parties to see value in the written word. We hope that throughout the year valuable lessons will be shared from both sides and an unlikely friendship formed.

To succeed in the future, we must not forgot the past and those valuable lessons that only our seniors can pass on.

The program asks for a very small time commitment with a huge impact, to know and realize that with just a simple letter once a month, someone truly cares to take the time to write. This is an act beyond words. We hope that Seniors to Seniors will be life changing and much like WPHHA prides itself to be the heart in homecare, we hope that younger generations will see their older counterparts in a fresh new light.
