Join us as we explore opportunities for senior centers to implement intergenerational engagement from one-time programs to shared sites, with young children to young adults. Learn about why intergenerational engagement is important, best practices, and model programs from our partners at Generations United and examples of successful programs from senior center professionals. We will also have an opportunity to meet in smaller groups to network and learn from each other. More details of this three-hour event will be coming soon!
