The site houses 9 Head Start and Early Head Start classes serving over 100 children and their families, as well as recreation, youth leadership and workforce training, behavioral health services, and community center activities for neighbors of all ages.

Each gathering offers interactive learning on topics like understanding behavior, supporting children impacted by trauma, and strengthening relationships.

Tech Buddies is an initiative connecting high school students with older adults to build digital confidence. Our team of high-school volunteers provide one-on-one, free, weekly 'tech' sessions to senior citizens in retirement homes, libraries, local recreation centers, senior living facilities as well in large community-style gatherings in school gyms which is open to the public. Through these recurring sessions, we have helped seniors learn essential tech skills like video calling, various smartphone settings, social media, online commerce, setting reminders for meds/appointments, pairing multiple devices, connecting phones to hearing aids, phone dictation feature, installing/using medical apps for heart-rate, diabetes, etc. We also do onsite presentations of common topics like i) how to prevent online scams ii) how to conduct online commerce/shopping ii) how to add anti-virus protection on devices iv) how to use AI on phones etc.. Our onsite presence gives seniors an opportunity to ask questions & get answers promptly on the topic. Our goal is to help seniors feel more confident and connected in an increasingly digital world, while also giving students the opportunity to develop empathy and communication skills.

Adopt a Grandparent Day stands out by offering a structured, emotion-filled day of connection that focuses solely on honoring older adults through volunteer visits, “treasure boxes,” and community engagement. Rather than being an abstract awareness campaign, it provides a tangible, local event—held annually in early September—where volunteers can visit nursing-home residents, spend quality time, and deliver thoughtfully prepared gifts or activity boxes. It emphasizes that each older adult matters and that, through simple acts of companionship and recognition, we can bring joy, meaningful relationships and intergenerational connection to seniors who often feel overlooked. The initiative leverages the power of community volunteers, local businesses, schools and faith groups to foster moments of appreciation and connection that reverberate beyond the single day.

Through daily interaction with children, seniors gain a stronger emotional, physical and mental health. Seniors feel a connection to the world and in return, their activity levels increase. When seniors and children interact this helps to deter the effects of dementia and other cognitive impairments, leading to a better, and longer quality of life. Serenity Assisted Living & Memory Care serves seniors in assisted living communities.
