My Neighborhood Connections
 
 
 
Hannan Center is an activity hub for older adults (60+) to learn, connect and create. Hannan Center offers creative aging programs, events and workshops as well as a full-service social work department to connect older adults to the support they may need to remain healthy and independent. In 2019, Hannan Center launched My Neighborhood Connections, a program designed to help older adults age in place in Southeast Michigan neighborhoods. As defined by the CDC, aging in place refers to the ability to live in one’s home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income or ability level. My Neighborhood Connections AmeriCorps members support this mission by: promoting a culture of health in Southeast Michigan neighborhoods; partnering with residents to identify community assets and challenges to aging in place; developing sustainable neighborhood volunteer networks; connecting residents with community services which promote healthy aging; facilitating arts and wellness workshops and events; conducting senior health assessments, and carrying out other activities that support healthy aging. Preference will be given to candidates who reside in the MNC community areas which include areas of Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne Counties. Applications are being accepted through the AmeriCorps web site only.
