    High school and college students from JCYC will have the opportunity to teach seniors how to use cell phones, computers, iPads, etc.

  3. Cultural Exchange - TBD
    We will be hosting Japanese cultural events, such as film screenings, holiday celebrations, and traditional Japanese games to create a space where people of all ages can come together to learn and have fun.

  4. Writing Workshops - TBD

Seniors can write about their lives and younger people can write about theirs to foster greater understanding. Written works will be published at the end of the program year.
