Are you passionate about helping others?
Are you in high school and in search of meaningful service learning hours? This is your chance!
Empowering the Ages (ETA) is recruiting 15 youth (9-12th grade) volunteers to join Caregiving Across Generations, an innovative project in partnership with Winter Growth, a nonprofit offering Memory Care, Adult Medical Day, and Respite Care programs. Together, we’re tackling one of Maryland’s biggest challenges: supporting families caring for loved ones with dementia.
As a youth volunteer, you will:
✅ Create practical resources—like a Caregiver Handbook and Interactive Guide—that families across Maryland will use.
✅ Learn about aging, dementia, and caregiving through hands-on service-learning.
✅ Connect with caregivers and hear real stories that make an impact. You’ll gain research experience, communication skills, leadership training, and service hours—all while making life easier for families and building a more caring future.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours in a public space under direct supervision of the nonprofit organization. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.
