Opening Minds Through Art Offered to Sholom Residents

Opening Minds through Art (OMA) is an award-winning, evidence-based, intergenerational art-program for people with Alzheimer’s disease

Do you desire to make a difference in the lives of people with memory loss? People suffering from Memory loss diseases can often feel alone and afraid. Building genuine friendships with them can make all the difference. In OMA the resident works on their art piece, when using their creative part of their brain they come alive in conversation. As a volunteer, you visit with them and gentle guide them through the steps of the project.

OMA is a great way to connect with people with dementia and as you engage in art-making together.
