Wellness Project
What is the Wellness Project?
We aim to alleviate elder isolation. The Wellness Project promotes wellness through conversational community-building activities hosted in-person. We launched the student-led Community Healing Series in partnership with BeWell OC at various senior living facilities.
Locations include:
The Inn at Woodbridge (Irvine)
The Meadows (Irvine)
Heritage Villas (Mission Viejo)
Emerald Cove (Huntington Beach)
Towers at Nineteenth (Costa Mesa)
Linbrook Court (Anaheim)
Belage Manor (Anaheim)
Our teams visit each center at least once a week. If you are interested in joining us, we volunteer Mon-Fri ranging from mornings to evenings. Student drivers are reimbursed for transportation.

Perspectives
Overall, the other volunteers and I absolutely loved hanging out...The group was just so funny and seemed to really enjoy the series.
I bought a few packs of different colored pipe cleaners and showed them how to make flowers out of them to make little bouquets as well as flower rings. I wasn’t too sure about the activity and even brought Jenga as a backup... but to my surprise they all really enjoyed it!
The residents are really liking the class! They were talking about last week's activity even days after.
Overall, it was a great time and I even stayed an extra 25 minutes to finish the last word scramble.
