Sharing Smiles Notes

Created as a response to increased social isolation during the pandemic, Sharing Smiles allows people from older and younger generations to connect safely with each other through email. We have worked with hundreds of individuals and dozens of groups as note writers. Check out more on Sharing Smiles, when ETA was featured as one of “Harris’ Heroes” on NBC4!
As the pandemic situation changes, we are no longer accepting new participants in the Sharing Smiles Notes program. We will continue to work with our existing participants. Thank you for your interest!

For group leaders and activity coordinators
If you have a group of older adults who would enjoy ongoing email or postal mail from younger people – great! We work with activity coordinators, social clubs, senior centers, assisted livings, nursing homes, senior classes, religious groups, and more. If you are interested in being in the audience for young musical performers, ask about our Sharing Smiles Virtual Concerts.
If you have a group of youth who would enjoy sending email or postal mail to older adults – great! We work with scout troops, homeschool groups, faith-based groups, sports teams, and more. If your group is interested in performing for residents of older adult living facilities, ask about our Sharing Smiles Virtual Concerts.
