Honoring our Kūpuna and their Legacies
As an ongoing project for NUR290, students conduct interviews or “talk-story” sessions with elders at our partner facilities. These precious oral histories are then “gifted” to the elders and their families. In some cases, formal presentations have been delivered to staff at our partner organizations, reporting on the highlights of our findings and interview aggregates.
For Current NUR290 Students:
Confidentiality, integrity, and professionalism are important to all of our partner organizations which serve elders.
Volunteers are expected to be:
- active listeners
- patient, respectful, tolerant, sympathetic, pleasant, conversant and mature
- positive, sensitive and interested
- prompt and responsible for fulfilling agreed-upon tasks (with client/organization).
- positive representatives of the CUH SON. Community uniforms with badges should be work during all service-learning interactions this term.
NUR290 students have multiple partner sites where service-learning can be done; a separate sign-up tool is used for each one. You will work in PAIRS; choose ONE SITE for all of the hours you do with your partner.

Responsibilities
Volunteers will provide assistance for small groups of elders, who are at varying levels of ability. Each small group will also be supervised by a staff person, but volunteers will provide individual encouragement, companionship, and assistance in completing the activities. You’re encouraged to develop and lead activities that are music- or art-related if you have those skills or interests.
This is your chance to represent Chaminade in a valued partnership, linked to a trusted local healthcare provider. There should be ample supervision and good structure to the program. You should be able to work with and/or observe elders with a wide range of physical/mental abilities.
