Dr. Apfeld’s course volunteered with seniors in the Greater Boston area through two organizations: Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly (LBFE) and FriendshipWorks. LBFE is a non-profit, volunteer based organization committed to relieving isolation and loneliness within the elderly. Specifically, our students participated in activities with the elderly such as playing card games, bingo, etc. or helping out with technology related issues. FriendshipWorks is a non-profit, volunteer organization that also provides support for isolated elderly. Specifically, our students were trained to provide medical escorts (assistance to elders during medical visits). This video is a compilation of student interviews that discuss their various service experiences throughout the semester. Thank you for your time in watching!
