ONEgeneration Information

Our mission is to support and enrich the lives of seniors, children and their families throughout our diverse community. We envision communities enriched through intergenerational relationships; where healthy aging is embraced and child development value; where the fulfilled life is the life well-lived. ONEgeneration is widely known for its intergenerational programming. At the intergenerational center, older adults and small children interact and participate in activites eight to nine times daily. At the senior enrichment center, active older adults work with foster youth and at-risk youth through arts programs and daily meal preparation and service. These programs benefit old and young alike and have a proven track record of building relationships and sharing stories.
