Community gathering at a Generations Connect event

YPHS Initiative

Generations Connect

Where generations meet, learn and connect.

About the Initiative

Connecting generations. Creating memories. Building community.

Generations Connect is an intergenerational YPHS initiative that brings young people and older adults together through conversation, storytelling, games, creative activities and shared community experiences. Every gathering creates space for meaningful exchange — and for the kinds of connections that can contribute to a young person's pathway.
