It is always a delight to welcome UCLA students to The Club at WISE for the Brain Exercise Initiative. These sessions lead participants through brain-stimulating activities like trivia, math, reading, and writing, to foster intergenerational connections. These exercises, based on Japanese research, are designed to improve mood, memory, and communication skills, bringing joy and meaningful engagement to participants.

UCLA BEI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on preventing memory loss through brain exercise. They'll be back Thursday, November 20 and Thursday, December 4, from 3-4pm at The Club!
