PROGRAM: ThriveTogether/Allaince Maisie Shannon-Bowe, Jim Bowe
This a comprehensive venture that looks to builds empathy, understanding, and shared experiences with programs that integrate elders and youth.
A great deal of their work centers around the movie, “Alive Inside.” Covid brought to the surface serious mental problems with elders and youths. Their program provides an awareness of needs of both youth and elders and a connection for solution of the challenges. The program requires a physical building. The search is on for a facility and this the need for funds. For more information visit the website: www.ThriveTogetherAlliance.org
