Peer Coaching matches
you one-on-one with a volunteer Peer Coach trained to focus on you,
your experiences, dreams and aspirations. Together you will identify
hopes and dreams, and develop an action plan to turn your dreams into
reality in your Next Chapter.
Resource
Bankprovides a plethora of information and opportunities providing the resources to turn your life plan into action.
Information is available on-line and in the Senior Center library.
Resource banks include information on Health and Fitness, Community
Service, Care Giving, Social Connections, Lifelong Learning, and Civic
Engagement…just to name a few.
Workshops
& Classes are offered on a wide range
of topics that focus on life-enhancing subjects including Travel
Photography, Financial Planning, Tai Chi and Culinary Arts. The
emphasis is always on stimulating imaginative thinking.
Life
Planning Seminars
offer helpful information and resources relevant to your life now
and/or in the future. We also schedule some seminars to help you
identify what you want your next chapter to look like and these are
structured to assist you to create a vision and construct a detailed
plan to move you toward making your dreams a reality. In this
setting, group interaction supports and enriches each member's plan.
Networking
is one way for Senior Center members and participants in The Next
Chapter to support each other in life and in the life planning process.
Networking includes opportunities to exchange information and resources
with peers and representatives of local businesses and agencies, social
gatherings, brainstorming sessions and the use of on-line chat rooms.
Roundtables
are informal groups, typically group-member led, that provide
opportunities to tap into the rich resources of others around the
table, and to provide each other with insight, encouragement and
support to successfully travel your current life path or to pursue
another life path. For individuals facing a new challenge or
preparing to pursue a new direction, we will work to form a roundtable
focused on a particular topic (e.g. taking on the caregiver role) or
issue (e.g. finding fulfillment in retirement). Roundtables are
formed when five or more individuals have a similar request.
