Grand Friends

here at the Heineberg
Society often divides us into silos that make it harder to interact with people who have differing opinions, ages, and life circumstances. The Grand Friends program aims to celebrate the diversity of our community and bring people together. This program matches older adults with UVM students to build meaningful connections over the course of the semester. Come learn how you can participate in this program.
