A community garden will offer an opportunity for intergenerational work and learning about growing plants and where our food comes from and encouraging environmental awareness with farm-to-table dinners in the Community Center.
Exploring the World Together
Trips to parks, museums, plays, fairs and festivals, sporting events and swimming pools will widen the knowledge and experience base of children and enable the Village to engage with the larger community.
Mentorship & Meaningful Purpose
Senior residents mentoring, tutoring, preparing meals in the Community Center for potlucks, teaching classes and volunteering in the office will be offered a way to engage with youth to share their knowledge and skills and continue to have a sense of purpose and dignity.
Bridging the Generational Gap
Children and their foster parents will have the opportunity to interact with seniors during the aging process, enabling them to experience the entire life cycle and to help seniors stay active and engaged.
