Intergenerational Connection

We apply an intergenerational lens to the work of the Coalition, because social isolation and loneliness affect all ages—and friendship across ages is transformative.

Focus Areas

  • Demonstrate the value of intergenerational activity in addressing social isolation and loneliness for people of all ages.

  • Highlight examples of successful intergenerational programs that promote community engagement.

  • Provide resources and guides for the development of future intergenerational opportunities that reduce disconnection.

We provided examples of successful intergenerational programs across the Commonwealth for the It’s the Little Things Taskforce report and at the annual Taskforce conference.

Present

We create a platform for learning and listening across generations by inviting guest speakers from various disciplines to participate in our monthly subcommittee meetings.

We are working to support communities and organizations in creating new and innovative intergenerational programs across the Commonwealth.
