Lifespan Intergenerational
Bridging Generations for Better Communities
Lifespan is dedicated to combating age segregation by connecting generations to foster mutual understanding, empathy, and a stronger sense of community among age groups.
Lifespan Resources is proud to have been selected as a Generations United Program of Merit. Learn more about Generations United at gu.org.
Fostering Empathy Across Generations
Lifespan’s mission is two-fold:
Firstly, we aim to bridge the generation divide by creating meaningful connections and transformative interactions between older and younger adults. Secondly, we seek to alleviate loneliness and social isolation in both young and old alike.
Lifespan facilitates meetings for older adults, younger adults, and students to connect…laugh…and learn, all from the comfort of home via Zoom.

Why Choose Lifespan?
Choosing Lifespan means becoming part of a movement that values wisdom, fosters mutual respect, and enhances understanding across generations.
Lifespan continues to innovate by addressing specific challenges within our community – like transportation, a vital need for many older adults. By meeting virtually, participants can find community without the stress of having to leave home
Community Impact
Through our programs, we create a safe place both older and younger adults can share life experiences, thereby fostering a sense of belonging and contributing to a more cohesive society.
Social Benefits
Social Connection is one of the most basic and crucial parts of human life, regardless of age. Humans are fundamentally social animals and need other people.
Our programs are designed not only to entertain but also offer participants avenues to learn new skills and stay mentally active and engaged. Students gain wisdom and mentorship. Adults feel more valued and appreciated.
Embracing Connection
In a society that sometimes overlooks the value of wisdom with age, Lifespan Intergenerational is countering this trend with our community programs. Lifespan IG’s social and educational platform celebrates the insights and knowledge of our elders, fostering an environment where wisdom is revered and conversations are cherished.
A Safe Space for All Ages
We are proud of our mission in crafting welcoming spaces for all participants. It’s a fun, safe place to share laughs and discuss interesting, universal topics with others.
