Vista Del Mar The Blessing Exchange
The Blessing Exchange offers our students and their families service learning and volunteer opportunities!
A Service Program for Jewish Teens and Young Adults with Autism and Neurodiverse Abilities in cooperation with Los Angeles Senior Living Communities and other Local Service Organizations
The Blessing Exchange is designed to bring teens and young adults with Autism and other Neurodiverse Abilities together with seniors living in Senior Living Communities to build relationships of meaning and service culminating in monthly Jewish Holiday and Shabbat Programming. Recently expanded to include additional acts of service in the community.
At its core, The Blessing Exchange is about living life with meaning and holiness. It is about menschlichkeit. It is about the agency to do something meaningful in the service of others – to make a difference.
