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.
