About Generation to Generation
The Generation to Generation Living History Project connects senior citizens and high school students for the purpose of forging meaningful connections and ultimately documenting the living history of Ulster County’s senior community. Ulster County’s youth volunteers work with Project staff to gain competency in interviewing, recording and interpersonal skills. Based on the successful program that took place in 2009 through UlsterCorps entitled Harvesting a Lifetime, seniors are paired with high school students, develop a comfortable relationship with them, get to know one another and ultimately collect the pertinent stories of the senior’s life. Please join us to hear about the progress of the project from some of the students, seniors and volunteer mentors!
As a result of the current Covid-19 pandemic facing our community, this project is being conducted remotely. It will be dependent on some technological tools in order to facilitate these meetings and the ultimate capturing of stories.
