Thanks to EngAGE Program Director Jessica for #MakingADifference and sharing a personal story. Living in an EngAGE community can be transformational for residents; working with residents in an EngAGE community can be meaningful and rewarding. Here’s Jessica’s story:
As a Program Director, EngAGE has brought a purpose to my artistic abilities which makes sharing that gift with others rewarding. In one class, a resident told me that if it hadn’t been for craft classes, she wouldn’t have taken on crafting as a hobby in her own time. Her experience in the classes made her so enthusiastic that she is now facilitating craft classes at her local church and has found a great passion for crafting. I love being able to share my passion with residents and see it also become theirs.
