The elderly population (65 and older) is growing faster than any other population and it is important for all of them to feel supported.

Benefits of connecting youth and seniors:

-Helps keep family stories and history alive
-Reduces the isolation of older adults
-Fills a void for children who do not have grandparents available to them

[Cynthia DeLuna @CynthiaDeLuna13]

Some of the benefits of connecting youth and senior generations:

-Providing an opportunity for both to learn new skills
-Give the younger ones and the older adults a sense of purpose
-Help children to understand and accept their own aging in the future #connectinggenerations
