Webinar: Intergenerational Connections Help Build Healthy and
Prosperous Communities
Thursday, April 4, 2019, 2:00-3:00 PM ET
When older adults are actively involved and engaged in their
community while participating in intergenerational programs, it benefits
both older adults and the teens or children with whom they interact.
In this webinar, you will hear from public health and
government officials, as well as aging and volunteer community leaders.
They will provide an overview of the role intergenerational programs play
in building healthy communities, discuss the federal programs and
initiatives that focus on boosting older adult community engagement,
highlight new research on the health benefits of volunteering, and share
how intergenerational programs promote community engagement in boosting
resilience.
