There is a new program through the Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center called “Legacy Allies.” It will be an intergenerational mentorship program meant to connect up and coming leaders (18-40) with elders (40+) and assist them through a grant-funded project. Participating neighborhoods are Northwest Landings, Martindale-Brightwood, and Norwood. You don’t have to live in the neighborhood, but need to be deeply rooted there. If interested, or know someone who would be interested, applications open March 1st. Click websites below.
