Opportunity to Establish The Legacy Project, Inc. Service Organization Chapter at UF

My name is Dhanush Sivasankaran, and I am the National Recruitment Director for The Legacy Project, Inc., or TLP. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that connects students with older adults in their local communities to (1) foster friendships and (2) preserve the older adults' life histories through a published book, achieving a lasting legacy.

We currently have chapters at six universities and are excited to expand our reach. We are seeking motivated students from the University of Florida to establish a TLP chapter and launch programming next fall. This is an incredible opportunity for students to:

• Take on leadership roles
• Gain book authorship
  
• Develop valuable skills for their careers
• Form meaningful intergenerational connections
• Make a lasting impact on their community

No prior experience is necessary, just a genuine interest in forming intergenerational connections!

Students can also read more on our website, or watch this video to learn more about our process. If you want to look at our prior work from other schools, here are links to some of our published books: Timeless Tales, Sundaes and Sundays, and Connecting the Pieces of Our Lives.

Interested students should fill out this short form.

Sincerely,
Dhanush Sivasankaran
