Reconnecting Community: The Village Movement and Time Exchange (An SOS Program)
28
Presenters: Eric and Amy Dewitt-Smith, co-founders, Neighbor Network of Northern Nevada (N4) The senior village movement began in Boston in 2002 and quickly has grown nationwide as a positive solution for “aging in community.” This grassroots initiative supports a program design that is driven by the people using the services. The village movement aligns with the core values of time exchange, where neighbors help one another and earn time credits that can be used to receive needed services from any other member. Exchanges can include transportation, household tasks, yard maintenance, errands, tutoring, workshops, pet care, personal care, business services, etc. The possibilities are limitless! Breakfast/ networking at 9 a.m. Presentation from 10-11 a.m. n PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED: contact Sina Ward at 784-7506 or sinaw@unr.edu before Oct. 6. OFF-PREMISES: Tuesday, Oct. 10 | 9-11 a.m.
