Launched in 2008, the Northland Foundation’s AGE to age: bringing generations together is designed to strengthen relationships among all ages and offer older adults and young people with opportunities and resources to work together to benefit their communities. To date, the program has been implemented in 13 rural communities including three Indian Reservations. In the fall of 2016, the program is being expanded to three more sites. Each site forms and implements its own action plan that joins the generations in local projects to improve health and well-being across the generations. In 2012, a new component of AGE to age was added to provide summer internships to undergraduate students to enhance their leadership skills, increase their knowledge of intergenerational community-building, and infuse fresh ideas in participating sites. AGE to age: bringing generations together was re-designated as a Program of Distinction by Generations United in 2015.
