Join the Movement

Our founder, Cassandra Van Dell, started Smiles for Seniors as a way to give back to her community and honor her late Grandmother. It was her grandmother's love of art that inspired the idea to use art and creativity in an innovative way to make a positive impact on the community.

Smiles for Seniors values intergenerational connectedness through young professional volunteers bringing a unique way to reduce the impact of social isolation that is often felt by senior residents in care nationwide.

Through our programs and initiatives, we have been able to make a positive impact in the lives of others. During Smiles for Seniors events, seniors are not only connecting with others, they are smiling and making memories.
