Legacy Letters Program Description: Legacy Letters is a free, small facilitated program brining generations together to reduce social isolation and build community that so many people have been deeply missing due to the impacts of COVID-19. For six weeks, participants gather as a group for 90 minutes on a weekday afternoon. They are facilitated through incorporating their reflections from activities into the preparation of a Legacy Letter. Each 90-minute session of the 6-week program is an opportunity to witness themselves in community, create a life narrative, and share that narrative with others. We hope to honor each individual, their life, and their ability to build connections with others across generations. Everyone gets to choose how they want to participate, including what they share during program sessions.
