seniors

Picture
​Guided by his bond with his late Grandma, Greg has spent a lot of time with retired people. After college, he volunteered with older adults on a weekly basis & started a program that brought hundreds of other volunteers to a nursing home. When he travels to other cities to speak at an event, he frequently does a separate event for the residents of a nearby retirement community. In some cases, he has served as 'Grandkid-in-Residence' at a community for seniors. Over the years, he has been given other fun roles involving seniors -- such as 'Grand(kid) Marshal' for the Vintage Games. SCROLL DOWN

Picture
The book (The Silhouette Man) based on Greg's story was honored in Canada as a book that celebrates the wisdom of seniors. The books & companion workbooks have been used with seniors -- including 55+, 62+, retirement & assisted living communities as well as chapters of organizations that involve seniors (e.g. Foster Grandparents, RSVP). The books also have been used with those who serve seniors &/or intergenerational programs. ​During the pandemic, the books have been used extensively with seniors. For more information on that, visit www.WorldsGreatestGrandma.com/pandemic
