What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
One to One Friends and Pet Connection
LITA's founding program is One-to-One Friends. LITA matches volunteers with residents of long-term care facilities for weekly visits. 60% of older adults in long-term care facilities have very few if any visitors. LITA volunteers bring friendship, laughter, and the warmth of community to these residents.
LITA Pet Connection involves volunteers’ special pets as part of their weekly visits. When people move into a long-term care facility, they often leave a beloved pet behind. This is a devastating separation from their companion. With The Pet Connection, volunteers bring their pets as part of their weekly visits. Pet therapy visits help pet lovers make connections with people who have not been responsive to other types of interactions. LITA accepts well behaved pets with basic obedience and commands mastered. The Canine Good Citizen Test is the guideline to behaviors needed to be a successful Pet Connection friend.
