NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Maybelle Carter, a Vitality Living community in Madison, Tenn., is the first Nashville area community to participate in The Victory Lap, a program that brings generations together by housing older foster youth in retirement communities.
Victor Malone, 19, and Jeffrey Tortorello, 18, will live and work at Maybelle Carter and continue to participate in Omni Visions’ Independent Living Program, which supports young people age 18 to 21 who have aged out of foster care.
“I’m most excited about connecting with people and helping where I can,” said Jeffrey.
Added Chris Guay, CEO, Vitality Living, “This is a really great opportunity for the young men to gain independence, but also give back to their community. We couldn’t be prouder to partner with Omni Visions and The Victory Lap to provide Victor and Jeffrey a home, a career, and 100-plus new grandparents at Maybelle Carter.”
Maybelle Carter and Omni Visions are committed to The Victory Lap model and hope to include more youth in the future. Victor and Jeffrey will work in the dining room at the community while continuing their educations.
