Whom we serve
TTSS serves any
senior adult 65 years old + in all 50 states who wish to have a Team Teen
friend. A background check will be requested for all seniors participating but
other than that there are no requirements. Each TTSS chapter provides their
local assisted living and nursing home facilities with TTSS brochures and TTSS
information. Certified Team Teens are matched up with a Team Senior to start
the journey of bonding and bridging the gap with a Team Senior. Specialized
programs are available to target every senior’s needs. Activities are
implemented throughout the year to create fun, lasting memories, and more. Sign
up today to start your TTSS journey.
A Focus on Our Seniors Needs
Our seniors are often
alone or isolated due to medical needs, transportation issues, finances, etc.
Visits for loneliness, activities to keep them busy, and a just a friend to
talk to are just a few of the things that our TTSS Teens can provide for our
Senior’s. Let’s take a look at bridging the gap between the two.
