As Hong Kong's population ages, there is a growing demand for programs that cater to the intellectual and social needs of the elderly. Caritas Evergreen College was established to provide both educational benefits and social interaction to senior citizens through a wide range of courses. Our IQP investigated the effectiveness of this program through interviews, focus groups, and observations. We developed recommendations that should help Evergreen College enhance its programs in the future.
