Memory Bridge Initiative

The Memory Bridge Initia­tive is an award-winning, twelve week after-school program that educates junior high and high school students about Alzheimer’s disease and related issues, pairing each stu­dent with a person living with Alzheimer’s disease. The student and person with dementia meet four times over the twelve week course. The program develops students’ emotional and social intelligence while keeping individu­als with Alzheimer’s disease in long-term care facilities meaningfully connected to people in their community.
