Release – Adult Participants – Care Centers

Sweet Readers, Inc. (”Sweet Readers”) is a 501(c)3 tax exempt public charity formed in New York, New York, USA in 2011. Our mission is to empower young people through training, transformative programs and communities of support to engage adults living with Alzheimer’s and related disorders (”AD”) and become catalysts for excellence in eldercare. During our programs, young people are challenged to utilize science, human engagement and the arts to discover the person and meaningfully connect.

The Sweet Readers multigenerational programs (the “Programs”), delivered in partnership between Sweet Readers, middle schools and in some cases major museums (the “Partners”) are held in school classrooms, museums and eldercare centers. Programs are led by a trained facilitator utilizing one of the customized Sweet Readers curricula. We are happy to be able to include the Adult Participant listed at the end of this document (”Adult Participant”) in the program!

Thank you for your support!
