Subcommittee Update
Improving Cupertino
Senior Citizens’ Quality of
Life: Intergenerational
Interactions
Seema Swamy, Ph.D.&
Gopal Kumarappan
The Cupertino Senior Landscape
•Rapid Growth:Older adults are the fastest-growing
age group in Cupertino, projected to reach 20% of the
total population by late 2025.
•Living Alone:Approximately 43% of Cupertino seniors
live alone, which is more than double the rate of the
general population.
•Digital Literacy Gap:While many have smartphones,
seniors' tech adoption lags significantly behind
younger generations, leaving them at risk of being "left
behind" as services move online. More vulnerable to
online scams and fraud.
Source: Age Friendly Silicon Valley (2023)
Seniors Issues
•Ethnicity & Language:About 49% are foreign-
born, and 27% of those aged 65+report speaking
English "less than very well," which can compound
feelings of social isolation.
•The Language Barrier:"In a diverse city like ours,
nearly 30% of these seniors report a language
barrier. When you combine living alone with a
struggle to communicate in English, the isolation
becomes a wall.“
•Mobility Issues due to age is also prevalent.
Source: Age Friendly Silicon Valley (2023)
How to address this issue?
•OPPORTUNITY: Connect youth with the senior residents.
•We have a substantial High School Student Population (9,700 students in FUHSD) about 16% of Cupertino residents.
•High School Students need voluntary hours for their college applications.
•Volunteer hours are hard to come by in an area with a surfeit of students vying for these limited opportunities.
•By bringing together the need for student volunteer hours and the needs of senior residents in Cupertino, we can create a mutually beneficial situation.
•There are a number of additional benefits that accrue as well (elaborated in later slides)
Why should Students join?
•Make a meaningful difference.
•Volunteer Hours: This is a critical issue for
students for college applications.
•Direct Impact:Help reduce loneliness and
tech-anxiety for their senior neighbors.
•Skill Building:Develop leadership, patience,
and communication skills. Expand social skills.
•Flexible Hours:Programs fit around their
school schedule (afternoons and weekends).
Cupertino Intergenerational Bridge
•Goal:Replace "service hours" with genuine
connections / friendships.
•For students, it is not a basic volunteer project.
•Data shows a clear, urgent need for a 'social safety net.’
•Our local students are the perfect group to provide that
connection, bridging both the digital divide and the social
one."
•Win-Win: Students Supporting Cupertino Seniors
•Building a Connected and Supportive Community
•Our local students are the perfect group to provide that
connection, bridging both the digital divide and the social
one.
•This isn't just a 'nice to have' project. This data shows a
clear, urgent need for a 'social safety net
•Key Activities
•Walking
•Grocery | Pick up Medication | Library – drop
off and pick up
•Playing together | Gardening | Other joint
activities
•Digital literacy
•Companionship – Both generations bond
and learn from each other
Intergenerational Bonding Activities
Mobility Issues
•Goal: Reduce stress for seniors with
limited mobility.
•Some seniors may be mobility
challenged.
•Students can help take the seniors for a
walk around the neighborhood or drive
them to a nearby park and sit/walk with
them.
Practical Assistance: Youth Errands
•Goal: Ensure Seniors’ immediate
critical and other needs are
addressed.
•Create a program where seniors’
needs of grocery shopping, pharmacy
pickups, library drop off/pickups can
be supported by students
•Student volunteers and seniors can
communicate 1:1
•Seniors provide lists and Payments
•Students provide availability
•Match and Fulfill
Student “Tech Tutors”
•Digital and AI Challenges: This is the most
common issue among seniors.
•Educate them on technology including use of AI
to help them, safeguard them from online
scams.
•Students can spend 1:1 time either face to
face or through Facetime or video calls.
•iPad/Smartphone training, FaceTime/Zoom
setups, and Online Safety workshops
•They can help them navigate the digital
world to help them connect better and more
meaningfully with the outside world.
Implementation & Safety
•Partners:Cupertino Senior Center,
FUHSD Schools, and WVC Community
Services.
•Safety:Background checks and
structured volunteer orientations.
•Particularly for face-to-face interactions, the
background checks should be conducted for
both the Seniors and the students.
Bridging the Gap: Students Supporting Cupertino Seniors
•Goal: Replace “service hours”
with genuine relationships and
growth for both generations.
•Building a Connected and
Supportive Community
•Empowering Cupertino Seniors
through Youth Collaboration
Stronger Together, Generation to
Generation
Call to Action
•Get City Council’s buy-in
•Goal:Launch a Pilot Program with 20 student
"Ambassadors."
•Learn what is working and glitches
•Iron out issues.
•Implement the changes
•Test these
•Then launch more widely

The Rise: Open Space Vision
●The Rise project enriches the public open space environment with a multitude of programs and
scales that are meshed together with pedestrian paths, and accessible from the streets , to meet
the needs of a diverse population .
●East and West sides are anchored by dynamic public open spaces such as two town squares ,
a turfed playfield , and an active recreational park .
●Open space in the form of a central town square on the west and east sides of the district
interspersed with plazas and "greens" that create community gathering spaces, locations for
public art , and event space for community events. (City General Plan Chapter 3 Strategy LU-19.1.8)
●Paseos and gardens break down the block scales, and provide interconnected pedestrian-friendly
corridors .
●The design emphasizes pedestrian friendly experience and provides thermal comfort with
continuous shade canopy
●The development is framed by the fully separated Class I bike/pedestrian path , which connects to
the regional bike network.
●Implement “Nature Play ”, “All-Inclusive Play ”, and “Water Play ” (Cupertino Parks and Recreation Master
Plan)
●Implement native & climate appropriate landscape (City General Plan Chapter 9 RPC-3.1.1 Native Planting)

The Blackberry Farm Golf Course
Pro Shop serves more than 40,000
golfers annually and is central to
the visitor experience. However, the
facility has not been
comprehensively renovated in
many years and is now outdated,
inefficient, and out of alignment
with current accessibility and
building standards. This project
proposes a full renovation to
improve functionality, safety, and
customer service.

Sound Attenuation
Neighboring residents have
concerns about the degradation
of the acoustic environment of
their residences. Pickleball is very
popular and generates great
community. By providing sound
attenuation to mitigate the
noise, we hope to create a
better environment for all.

Proposed FY26-27: Sports Center Courts
Resurfacing
Resurfacing all tennis courts
and the Sport Court at the
Sports Center will prevent
further damage, reduce
liability, and avoid more
costly repairs in the future,
as well as maintain a
suitable and safe playing
environment.
