What’s the Story?
If you’re curious about what it was like to live through World War II or Vietnam, the Great Depression or the end of segregation, now is your chance to befriend an eyewitness! In Newport News, 24,000 citizens (12% of our population) live in assisted living or retirement communities. Many of these citizens do not have family nearby and would love to befriend and meet regularly with a CNU student.
Opportunity: Weekly visits, nursing assistance, program assistance, entertainment
Community Partners: (list of partners w/ pictures, contact info, website, vol. positions)
