A charitable organization
Our Mission:
To create opportunities for generations to connect through arts programming and performances.
Our Vision:
For all ages to show empathy to one another through authentic connection.
Old School's work helps to maintain wellness, support dementia care, challenge ageism, and offer inclusive opportunities for all.
Old School's purpose is to relieve conditions attributable to being aged, including social isolation and other mental or physical health conditions by providing intergenerational programs that foster interaction between seniors and young people in schools and in the community, such as arts workshops, pen-pals projects, and performances. In addition, Old School strives to advance the public’s appreciation of and accessibility to the arts by providing high-quality artistic performances in public places, senior citizens' homes, churches, community centers, and educational institutions.
