What We Do
Generations United works to create a country where all generations are valued, respected and supported.
We work to create a country where public policy and programs connect generations instead of separate or isolate them; and where the oldest and youngest members of our society work together to achieve transformational change.
To reach this goal, Generations United works with our member organizations, partners and stakeholders, in the following areas of focus: Grandfamilies, Community Building and Intergenerational Programs & Spaces.

Generations United coordinates a number of signature initiatives to strengthen intergenerational connections and improve the lives of children, youth and older adults in our communities.
