Neighbors Growing Together is an Intergenerational Program at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University's Adult Day Center. We conduct three group activities each week between three older adults from the Adult Day Center and three young children from the Child Center in an IG studio, built between the two centers. Activities could range from arts and crafts around a table to an activity on the smart board about languages, countries, pictures, etc. The smart board was recently put in to enhance engagement and increase opportunities for activities.
