    • The S.H.O.P. (Students Helping Older People) Program has been a collaboration between the Brookline Senior Center and the community service program at Brookline High School for many years. During these years, hundreds of students have helped dozens of seniors. It is a win-win volunteer opportunity whereby students’ grocery shop for seniors in Brookline and seniors share their actual history and experience with students in a friendly visit after shopping.
