• Connecting GenerationsConnecting Generations was founded on the belief that a cornerstone of a healthy society is the presence of caring adults in the lives of young people. We believe and research confirms that the absence, for whatever reason, of the grandparent-grandchild relationship or, more generally, the ‘community elder—young person’ relationship, is the root cause of many of the difficulties facing young people today. This phenomenon cuts across both socio-economic class and racial divisions in America. It is everyone’s problem. Employing a unique intergenerational approach — the Connecting Generations Process — our programs connect the generations in a way that brings out the best in them.
