Weaving Up an Intergenerational Good Time!

Friends for Youth recently made a trip to visit the senior citizens at Lytton Gardens. Our group of mentors and mentees had a great time interacting with the wonderful Lytton Gardens’ residents, and everyone got busy on a basket making project. Even though only one basket was totally finished, everyone had a great time learning, teaching, and sharing basket-making skills. Most importantly, it was clear that the residents enjoyed sharing their stories with our Friendships. Some Friendships plan to continue to work on their baskets at home and once done return to Lytton Gardens to share the end products. The Lytton Gardens residents, Friendships, and staff all agreed it was a fun and rewarding community service activity. 

Spotlight Friendship

Prachi and Michelle reached their year together as friends this past December! These two have been an unstoppable force, attending many FFY group activities, such as our GAP Studio portrait taking and our Annual Summer BBQ. They also attended an Alcohol and Drug Prevention Life Skills Workshop, and they volunteered at our Fashion Show Event last March. When they weren’t with the Friends for Youth bunch, they took advantage of many free ticket opportunities like Alcatraz, San Mateo County Fair, and the De Cantor Museum. They plan to continue their adventures together into the new year and beyond!
