Wesley Palms senior living community in San Diego operates an “Ageless Playground” program connecting residents with middle school students through games and activities. The program expanded from a school project to include ongoing volunteer work and charitable efforts.
- About 10 Pacific Beach Middle School students participate weekly in games like bingo, chess, and Scrabble with senior residents.
- The program began as an eighth-grade project and grew as students created specialized materials for visually impaired residents.
- Students continued visiting beyond their required community service hours, showing genuine engagement with the program.
- Participants expanded their efforts to create handmade dog toys for the San Diego Humane Society.
- The spring session ended with a graduation ceremony where students reflected on their experiences.
