Intergenerational Programming

BronxWorks joins United Neighborhood Houses and our partners in changing what it means to age by bridging the gap between generations. Intergenerational programming creates a comfortable environment where participants can gain familiarity and challenge their preconceived notions, revealing the common concerns, passions, and interests between neighbors of all ages.

Together, youth and older adults take part in program planning and organizing to create organic, bi-directional relationships with each other. Program participants take the lead on facilitating and contributing to programming, targeting and enhancing their knowledge and talents to share with others, bridging the gap between generations. Participants engage in fun activities, health & cooking classes, technology workshops, and more.
