Program Purpose:
To overcome the isolation experienced by the residents of nursing care and assisted living facilities, while making the wisdom, talents and cultures of these residents available to the community.

History:
I-You Venture was founded in 1974 as a response to an identified community need and has touched the lives of tens of thousands of care facility residents and I-You Venture volunteers.

Service Description:
I-You Venture recruits, orients and places volunteers with residents of local care facilities. Volunteers are involved in a broad range of activities from small groups involved in projects like Ageless Art, to the quiet intimacy of one-to-one visiting.
