A Quick Overview
Fourteen years ago, a small group of people formed Intergeneration Foundation and established Intergeneration Day, an annual time to intentionally connect all ages worldwide. In 2013, this highly successful effort expanded into Intergeneration Month: September, in conjunction with the Connect All Ages Campaign.
The importance of Intergeneration Day (now Intergeneration Month) is evidenced by proclamations from 43 state governors and Puerto Rico. Generations United, the largest intergeneration NGO in the world, has participated since the beginning.
