      The Yale Day of Service Senior Card Craft Project 2022 is delighted to be back in person this year! You are invited to join us along with Artis residents as Julie Lin ’93 teaches us how to make Origami cards.  Last year, Julie delivered lovely cards to share with Artis residents so we are thrilled to have her visit and teach us how to make them!

      Due to COVID restrictions, the number of volunteers is limited.  All volunteers coming to Artis must be vaccinated and wear a mask.

      Light refreshments will be provided.

      If you are unable to join us, please create decorative cards at home with your family that can be shared with elderly residents who are memory impaired and either living in Senior Living facilities, your neighborhood or your own family and friends. The cards can be for any occasion – Happy Birthday, Thinking of You, tell a Joke. Draw a picture using materials you have on hand such as paper, markers, crayons, stickers, glitter - whatever you think will bring a smile or cheer to a senior who is unable to get out and about.

      We reprise our 2020 and 2021 Yale CLE Virtual Day of Service project contributing letters of love to the elderly in need of uplift and encouragement.  In 2020, we helped set a record for the nonprofit started by Jacob Cramer, '22 (Ben Franklin) -- 14,234 letters of love sent to 233 senior communities in the United States, UK, Australia and Canada. The Cleveland effort sparked national and international interest. See some of the photos of appreciative recipients, letter writers and helpers at the project's Instagram account.

      This virtual project is again part of our Yale CLE Day of Service, now marking its 14th year. So, take a moment anytime in the month of May to handwrite 14 more letters of love, warmth and encouragement (large, legible writing please!), keeping away from religion, politics and personal topics, illustrate with colorful art, if you care to do so, and mail with their envelopes to

      Celebrate the voices of youth living with serious illnesses and let them know that their stories matter! 

      Hear Your Song is a national nonprofit co-founded by Yale undergraduates in 2014 with the mission of empowering children and teens with serious illnesses and complex health needs to make their voices heard through collaborative songwriting. Since the start of the pandemic, Hear Your Song has expanded to serve kids around the country and beyond, helping over 250 kids write songs about anything they want in any style they imagine, from rock anthems about loving pasta to jazz tunes about living with epilepsy. 

      At this virtual event, you'll have the opportunity to give feedback to our youth songwriters through written, audio, and video messages that let kids know their songs and stories have been heard! You'll also be able to learn more about Hear Your Song's Yale-driven history, from our founders to our current undergraduate volunteer community to our Programs Fellows supported by the Yale Glee Club Associates. 

      This is a family-friendly event, too — kids ages 6 and up are more than welcome to participate and explore the songs!
