Description

Opening Minds through Art 

Student volunteers are invited to join us for Opening Minds Through Art (OMA), 

an award-winning, failure-free, evidence-based intergenerational art program. 

OMA provides older adults with early-stage memory loss opportunities for 

creative self-expression and social engagement. 

Volunteers are matched with participants to provide support as they create 

abstract artwork that engage their minds and break through cognitive barriers. 

Volunteers must attend the orientation, all art sessions, and the art show. 

SSL hours granted.
