ARISE SCHOLARS

The ARISE Scholars Program will provide teens who are currently in grades 9-12 with the opportunity to earn 25 service hours, to volunteer in the community, and to experience how the fine arts can be used as a tool for wellness.

The central theme of ARISE is storytelling. Throughout the program, we will explore how theatre, music, dance, and the visual arts can help us share our stories with others.

We are looking for teens who have an interest in the fine arts, volunteering, and working with older adults.

There is no cost to participate, although scholars will be responsible for their own transportation. Each student who completes the program will earn a $100 travel stipend.

Goals for high school students:

  • to change perceptions of how teens view older adults
  • to find commonality and shared experience with older adults
  • to learn how to use the fine arts as a tool for wellness
  • to understand the importance of volunteerism

Goals for the residents of Worthington Christian Village:

  • to decrease loneliness and isolation through commonality and shared experience with teens
  • to improve cognitive health through active storytelling
  • to strengthen communication skills
  • to increase quality of life
