Intergenerational and Family Connections

A healthy community is one in which children, youth, adults and seniors are connected through shared experiences, mutual respect, mentorship and service. Our intergenerational programs create opportunities for every age group to contribute, learn and belong.

Seniors share wisdom, faith, cultural heritage and life experience. Adults and young adults provide support, leadership and practical service. Youth develop responsibility and learn from positive role models. Children gain confidence, respect and a sense of belonging. Families are strengthened as generations worship, learn, celebrate and serve together
