FUNDING AND EDUCATOR RESOURCES
Better Together grants are available for up to $10,000 per year for two years. Educators are supported through quarterly webinars, website resources including curriculum, guidance on implementation, ready-to-go lesson plans, program ideas, and video tutorials.
PROMOTE JEWISH VALUES
Better Together is a national movement involving 3,000 teens and 2,500 seniors each year nationally. Better Together relationships fulfill and embody the Jewish value of honoring the elderly, a mitzvah that brings generations closer to their Jewish roots.
"I now recognize that despite being generations apart from seniors, we're more alike than we think."
