What is a senior community partner?

A senior community partner is a care community that is able to receives love through our programs—like handwritten letters or volunteer visits—from our national network of student-led chapters and Dear Elder Mailbox keepers.

By joining our network of 1,000+ partners, your community becomes eligible for heartfelt letters and meaningful connections with local Love For Our Elders volunteers. Our volunteers and student chapters—based in high schools and colleges across the U.S. (and even one in Hong Kong!)—are passionate about spreading joy and building intergenerational bonds.

As a partner, you help create moments of connection that uplift your residents and inspire the next generation of changemakers.

Why join?

• Receive love: You may be contacted to receive meaningful letters from caring students and community members.

• Build intergenerational connection: Local students and volunteers may reach out for potential in-person visits. With your guidance, they may organize arts and crafts events, Bingo, pen-pals, poker nights, dances, or even advice sessions.

• Zero cost: There’s no fee or obligation to participate.
