Benevilla’s Intergenerational Program unites children and older adults through daily, intentional activities that spark joy, learning, and connection. Preschoolers spend time with their “Grandmas and Grandpas” in gardening, baking, crafts, fitness classes, celebrations, and shared meals. Activities are designed to build skills such as teamwork, empathy, independence, and creativity, while fostering meaningful relationships across generations. Fitness classes in their Benefitness Adaptive Gym promote strength and wellness for all ages, while special events and projects create lasting memories. The program is a replicable model that demonstrates the power of consistent, purposeful intergenerational engagement.
