Learn how intergenerational connections can benefit people of all ages! Cook County ISD 166 Principal Josh Belanger will help us discover existing ways that older adults can connect with and support our Cook County students. In addition, we’ll learn about intergenerational events and activities that are currently being explored through collaborative partnerships with area organizations like Care Partners. Attendees also shared their own ideas for connecting community members from generation to generation.
