$1,000 Easy Scholarship: Ask a Grandparent or Older Adult to Share a Story

DoSomething.org

You could win an easy $1,000 scholarship by swapping stories with an older adult in your life to decrease isolation during COVID-19. Research shows that encouraging older adults to share their stories benefits the emotional, physical, and mental well-being of older adults, and leads to greater empathy and stronger connection with the listener (that's you!). Call or video chat with an older adult in your life (a grandparent, family member, friend, any older person you admire) and ask them to share a story from their life with you. You'll automatically earn verified volunteer hours, and you'll be entered for the chance to win a $1,000 scholarship!
