About the project

411 Seniors Centre Society Project aims to connect UBC student volunteers and seniors through combining the practice of storytelling with musical performance. For the performance, each student will work with a senior in order to assist the seniors in sharing their stories. The society, in collaboration with a Project Leader and two Student Leaders, is looking for 6-8 UBC student volunteers who would like to be a part of this project. During the course of the project, two rehearsals will take place, followed by the actual performance. Our main goal is to foster self-expression through art by connecting older adults at the 411 Seniors Centre Society with UBC student volunteers.
