Empowering The Ages

Hello, @WGES_mcps, our newest @mcps_md partner school! We loved sharing ETA Connections with you yesterday: our volunteers build a 1:1 relationship with students & families for 2 years to help get them off to a great start. (Want to volunteer? empoweringtheages.org )

We're excited to see the teens we trained last month head out on their summer jobs: helping folks with tech at @MontgomeryCoMD senior centers! Here are a few earlier this week in Wheaton. #MoCoRec #MoCoSeniors

Save the date! Free tech class Sept 20 for ETA volunteers & friends - mailchi.mp/e431cf778c6e/e…

Looking for new shows to binge? "Hacks" and "Slow Horses" are both centered around great depictions of trust, mutuality, understanding, and MISunderstandings across different generations. Read more: nextavenue.org/intergeneratio…

Check out grand prize winner Patricia and her 3 guests, enjoying baseball and fireworks from a suite at Nationals Park last weekend! Thanks again to everyone who participated in ETA's Light A Spark, and to our sponsor @StewardPartners for donating the drawing's grand prize.

Great conversation with the amazing Chuck Short on the work of the Empowering the Ages. As a school system, we can have closer collaboration with all our thriving non-profits. Great things are happening, keep up the positive energy. #Nonprofits @MCPS

@JulieYangMoCo @MCPS Thanks, Julie!

Have a happy and safe Fourth, everyone!

Picking out the *very* best sidewalk chalk colors together at our playground party Saturday. SO MANY smiles when the pre-K students + families met their ETA volunteers for the first time in person, after months of Zoom/calls/text/email! @FinestEducator #kindergartenreadiness

Just wrapped up a stimulating conversation program with @ACHSWashDC 10th graders + 14 ETA volunteers. One of the kids said he wondered if some of the recent tragic events wouldn't have happened if the perpetrators had experienced conversations "like this." 😢💜
