Intergenerational Committee
We apply an intergenerational lens to the work of the Taskforce, because social isolation and loneliness affect all ages—and friendship across ages is transformative.
Our Objectives
1.
Demonstrate the value of intergenerational activity in addressing social isolation and loneliness for people of all ages.
2.
Highlight examples of successful intergenerational programs that promote community engagement.
3.
Provide resources and guides for the development of future intergenerational opportunities that reduce disconnection.
Our Focus
Past
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.
Future
Over the coming year, we will work to collate resources to support communities and organizations in creating new and innovative intergenerational programs across MA.
