Boys & Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor is looking for Interns 50+ to help us bridge the intergenerational gap with the members in our community.
Research shows that children who don’t have enough opportunities to interact with grandparents and other seniors in the family are more likely to have negative feelings about aging. For them, the stereotypes about old age are more likely to make them fearful of growing older. By helping connect our kids and seniors, we can overcome these stereotypes.
Your Internship will include:
* Education - Focusing on helping children learn from and develop positive images of seniors while giving the you an opportunity to gain a sense of fulfillment from working with children.
* Friendships - This component is important in helping increase the feelings of understanding and respect between children and older adults.
* Caring - The key to truly bridging the gap between the two generations lies in helping children develop genuinely caring relationships with seniors.
We'd love to have you join our team!

Mission Statement
True to its mission since 1937, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor helps young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.

Description
BGCLAH offers assistance to youth, specifically low-income youth. We offer daily programming which includes Academics (tutoring), Athletics (sports leagues, general sports), Arts, STEM, Music, Dance, and College Preparation. We have needs in all program areas in which outreaching for consistent volunteers are vital for our organization to run since our members thrive off of 1-on-1 assistance. We also have a need for our Food Distribution Program (Weekend Wellness) which hosts a once a month distribution for our families and the community facing food insecurity. We need volunteers for this program since it requires a lot more labor and the more hands on deck, the more beneficial it is for our staff and program to run.
