Seniors

Step 1: We hold a preliminary meeting with the senior care facility discussing what they would like from our partnership. In the meeting, we discuss which events they would like to do, of our six events. If they would like an additional event that is not listed, we take it into consideration and discuss logistics following the meeting. We then determine how often the center would like to hold sessions, and when they would like to start: essentially, we set a first schedule in place. Finally, we discuss what materials the center has, what technology is available for the seniors, and what their bandwidth is for overseeing events between Horizon Networks and the center.

Step 2: Once we have a schedule set in stone, we familiarize a group of volunteers with the center and train them on how to do the different activities. This group will take full responsibility for each session (ex: a group of four individuals leads a yoga session every Saturday morning) and will coordinate with the center to send zoom links, promotional materials, and discuss possible last minute logistics / changes.

Step 3: We follow the schedule for the foreseeable future, and if the center would like to introduce new events, change existing ones, or remove events from the schedule, we comply.

Step 4: We have a strict privacy policy between the volunteers and the senior center. They are only given the name and hobbies / interests of the senior they are talking to, and are explicitly told not to publicly share any of their information, as well as anything discussed during a session. We do not release any senior contact information or partnership details to the public, and do not allow media (videos, photos, etc) to be taken without the explicit written consent of the center and any relevant seniors.
