You can help relieve and prevent social isolation and loneliness among older adults. Your generosity allows us to connect the young and old at free, weekly programs where they build mutually beneficial, joyful friendships.
Each year LBFE Boston connects Boston's college students with hundreds of older adults living in public and affordable housing. Generations enjoy social, digital literacy, and creative arts classes together and share life experiences and skills.

DAY ONE of GLOBAL INTERGENERATIONAL WEEK #GIW24
What is #intergenerational practice? It's MUCH MORE than bringing younger and older people together. It is a systemic approach to community development and well-being that recognizes and values the contribution of all generations who live there.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO)'s Global Campaign to Combat Ageism, intergenerational activity is a proven way to reduce ageism. And when combatting ageism can help us live up to 7.5 years longer, intergenerational practice is not just nice, it’s ESSENTIAL.
