Intergenerational programs for seniors and youth are at the heart of Youth + Senior Connections. We are a nonprofit that pairs students with local seniors to share life stories through mutual mentorship. As students assist older adults with basic technology—such as documenting conversations or uploading photos—they engage in meaningful dialogue that fosters empathy and builds genuine connections.

This collaboration fosters empathy, challenges assumptions, and uncovers shared values. Students gain perspective and purpose; seniors feel heard, honored, and connected to their broader community.
