COVID-19 and
Intergenerational Shared Sites: Lessons on promoting connections between
young and old during a pandemic and beyond
Generations United and The Eisner Foundation will
present a one-hour virtual briefing on the value of
intergenerational shared sites in serving young and old throughout the
COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Recognized in the Older Americans Act,
intergenerational shared sites - or settings where children, youth, and
older adults participate in services and/or programs concurrently in the
same space - have proven to increase well-being for
people of all ages while enhancing organizational and community
resources. The program will include an overview of what has
been learned from shared sites during the COVID-19 Pandemic, and
speakers from shared sites that have adapted and/or served during the
Pandemic.
