The Lenox Hill Neighborhood House has worked with The Open Circle to arrange a long-term partnership, with a Poetry event being hosted from 10am-11am every Saturday in their main Sun Room. Over fifty different attendants have come to The Open Circle's events at the Lenox House.
At the Carter Burden Network, The Open Circle has done some of their most dynamic events, particularly an interpretive dance workshop based on poetry and emotions the attendants felt. Attendants also got help based on legal needs, specifically four of the attendees were helped with finding a free attorney, and three with SNAP benefits.
At Greenwich House, The Open Circle is working alongside employees to plan to host poetry and art events designed especially for older adults in the month of May. Alongside these programs, we also have offered support with filling out forms, including benefits request forms and financial aid applications for attendees entering college who may not yet know how to navigate the process.
