Embracing Generations is an intergenerational program launched at Latin School of Chicago that promotes relationship building and mutual learning among students and our senior residents. This is facilitated through programming for students and seniors that focuses on areas such as health and wellness, education, creativity and socialization. Our goal is that everyone involved gets something out of Embracing Generations. We want students and residents alike to learn something new and build relationships that leave participants feeling empowered.
“I think that our community has been very open and excited to engage with our club. Every time we’ve gone, we’ve gotten great feedback that students are getting to know the residents better.” – Maddie Gaines, rising senior at Latin School of Chicago
