Project WellSpring is a pilot initiative by Heathy Communities of Brownsville (AKA Healthy Communities) to help inspire, connect and socially engage with our elders through hyper-local educational events, cross generational mentorships, and outdoor activities that improve their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
Partnering with the Brownsville Public Library System allows us to anchor our outreach activities in the communities the library serves. The Wellspring volunteers will be able to canvas and directly engage with the surrounding neighborhoods and organizations events and workshops on the library premises. We will conduct up to four workshops per quarter and host block parties to spread awareness of our activities and programs.
Our mission is to develop and foster environmental, educational healthy living programs through community partnerships and grassroots efforts. We want to live in a more senior-friendly Brownsville, where our diverse communities can connect, flourish and grow old together.
We are a group of concerned citizens who want to bring Senior Advocacy to City of Brownsville. We provide health, education and workshops that help our senior citizens and connect them to local and regional resources to better their quality of life.
We intend to use the respondent data to help create an Aging Friendly Advisory Committee that informs and shapes services provided by the City of Brownsville and empowers the City Commission to improve the quality of life for our most vulnerable residents - our seniors.
