Senior x purpose of life matching business Yokohama Positive Aging

With the 100-year life, life after the age of 60 is long. Due to the diversification of ways to interact with the community and work styles, there are senior generations who are free to select and combine various options according to their interests, physical strength, and situation. "Yokohama Positive Aging" is a program that connects the senior generation with the activities of local organizations and companies. After attending the basic course, individuals and groups can participate in local activities. Why don't you play a role in the community according to your skills and wishes so that you can stay energetically and forever in the area where you live?

①　Activities that lead to social participation (paid or free volunteers) of senior generations who can utilize the knowledge and experience cultivated through work.
　※Activities that are different from "working"
②　Activities cut out by local organizations and companies in a manner that suits their needs and wishes.
③　Activities to improve the local community, such as solving local issues and promoting local industries, to realize a community-friendly society

Those who are generally over 60 years old and are interested in activities in the community where they can utilize their knowledge and experience cultivated through work, etc.

First of all, let's take a basic course.
After taking the basic course, we match opportunities for individuals and groups to participate in activities at local companies and organizations.
There are two types of activities in companies and organizations.
− “Individual matching” tailored to the needs of students: For those who have taken basic courses, we will individually support matching activities in companies and organizations.
− “Group activities” that address the needs of companies and organizations ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・
