Sages & Seekers is seeking sages—adults ages 60 and older—and seekers—students between 15 and 24 years old—to participate in its spring session, which will begin on Monday, April 15, and run through Thursday, May 30.
The intergenerational program, which will meet in-person at Palisades Charter High School, is described as an opportunity to build meaningful relationships.
Launched in 2009 with a mission to combat social isolation and “dissolve age-related segregation,” the nonprofit program has been implemented across the country, in private and public schools, universities, senior centers, and beyond.
“This is achieved by creating a sense of intergenerational community in our programs, through the art of authentic conversation,” according to the program. “Many of the issues both teens and older adults deal with are mutual in nature, even though they seem miles apart.
“Both generations are searching for meaning and relevance; fighting feelings of loneliness, and many of ‘not fitting in’ or being marginalized. Sages & Seekers addresses these concerns for two generations at once.”
The Pali High program will begin Wednesday, April 17, from 3:15 to 4:30 p.m. Subsequent meeting dates are April 24, and May 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. An online program will also kick off on Monday, April 15.
For more information or to enroll in the program, visit sagesandseekers.org/enroll or contact Program Coordinator Lori Ann Fuller Piscioneri at loriann@sagesandseekers.org.
