Within our Action Guide for Building Socially Connected Communities, users can find promising community informed strategies. One promising strategy communities can follow is to Build Intergenerational Communities. Building intergenerational communities can create a multitude of benefits including social cohesions and bonding for residents of all ages. A promising example of this strategy can be found in Generations of Hope Communities (GHCs), which are structured to promote intergenerational interactions, shared purpose, and community mobilization to overcome barriers that vulnerable populations face. Over 20 local initiatives have been implemented across the U.S., in both rural and urban communities. Learn more about this strategy and explore the full catalog here: https://lnkd.in/geRqbGBz

Our Vision is to empower communities to find sustainable solutions to their development challenges. This belief drives everything we do, including our participatory community meetings, where local members come together to share ideas and strategies. This image captures a powerful moment from a recent meeting, with community members actively contributing to the conversation. Their insights are at the heart of our work, guiding us as we collaborate to turn challenges into opportunities. By empowering communities to take the lead in their development, we are building a future where sustainable solutions are not just possible, they are inevitable! #CommunityEmpowerment #SustainableDevelopment #CommunityEngagement #VibrantCommunities.

These initiatives can range from small-scale projects like neighborhood clean-ups to larger endeavors such as establishing community gardens or implementing youth mentorship programs.
