Webinar Recording Now Available for: Intergenerational
Connections Help Build Healthy and Prosperous Communities
It is Older Americans Month and ACL now has the recording
available for the webinar on Intergenerational Connections Help Build
Healthy and Prosperous Communities. It is available at https://youtu.be/7QFI6KJIkl4.
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.
This webinar recording includes information from public health
and government officials, as well as aging and volunteer community leaders.
They 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.
