This project is merely a beginning, there is still much work to be done. This work can’t be done alone and can’t be done by one person. It is a change that needs to invade our society, it needs to come from our profession, our nation, and the world. This is an issue of humanity, one of these groups built the very world in which we live today and the other will build the world of tomorrow. If we let them slip through the cracks and get left behind, what does that say of our legacy, our respect of our past, present and future?
"Participation in intergenerational programs and meaningful cross-age relationships may decrease social isolation and increase older adults’ sense of belonging, self-esteem, and well-being, while also improving social and emotional skills of children and youth participants."
