OVERVIEW:

In a time of increasing social fragmentation and age-based silos, fostering genuine connections across generations has become both a strategic and ethical imperative for vibrant, inclusive communities. This training explores how community programming can be designed and implemented through an intergenerational lens, intentionally bringing together youth, older adults, and everyone in between to share skills, stories, and leadership.

Participants will gain insight into how cross-generational approaches can enhance community resilience, reduce isolation, and build collective capacity for social change. From neighborhood-based initiatives like co-housing and community gardens to structured partnerships in schools, libraries, and faith communities, the training highlights real-world models where youth and elders collaborate meaningfully.

OBJECTIVES:

By attending this training, you will be able to:

• Define “intergenerational approaches” and describe their benefits in community settings.
• Identify key models and examples of intergenerational programming in neighborhoods and partnerships.
• Analyze how leadership can be fostered across age groups to enhance community cohesion.
• Explore strategies for creating inclusive spaces where both youth and older adults collaborate.
