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.
Friends enjoyed a group painting activity at Back of the Hill apartments in #JP. We brought 2 large canvases and older and younger adults worked together to make separate paintings of the same scene and we all decided to name them “Dawn to Dusk”! We love the creativity in this #intergenerational group!
Intergenerational arts have been shown to reduce ageist stereotypes, promote empathy and social inclusion, stimulate brain functioning, and reduce isolation.

It's been a productive #intergenerational #digitaldividends spring session at West 9th Apartments in #southboston! Helen was pleased to find a new feature in paint-by-numbers, so instead of having to scroll, she could just select the color by holding which helped a LOT with coloring.

#facetofacefriday We love to see the joy on Olivia and Ben's faces who have a very competitive game of dominoes going on that they continue almost every week (along with Johnny & Meredith) at Roslindale House. Ben and Johnny taught Olivia how to play!
