What is Senior Ambassadors?
The Senior Ambassador Program is a pilot public health program that has the
primary goal of providing mutually beneficial social networks between seniors
living in the City of East Lansing and undergraduate students attending
Michigan State University.
Through this program, our aim is to facilitate positive interactions that reduce
feelings of loneliness, enrich the lives of seniors and students by providing
opportunities to socialize with a population they may not otherwise encounter
on a deep, intellectual level, and provide
valuable life-long social skills.
This program is a collaboration between AgeAlive, Prime Time Seniors
Program and the Social Science Scholars Program at Michigan State University. We
appreciate the support of the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the MSU
WorkLife Office. We thank the Michigan Department of Health and Human
Services / Aging and Adult Services Agency for their grant support.
