LBFE Boston is a community-based nonprofit that helps relieve and prevent social isolation by bringing intergenerational, tech, and creative arts programs to older adults in public/affordable senior housing and senior centers.
Please join us in welcoming Levi to the LBFE Boston team as Assistant to our Gen2GenQ program! He hopes to help foster #intergenerational friendships and solidarity in the #LGBTQ+ community.

For more information & to RSVP, call 617-635-1953 or visit boston.gov/departments/age-strong-commission/2024-2025-age-strong-needs-assessment.

Each week students from a Northeastern University service-learning First Year/Advanced Writing (oral history) class and older adults gather at The Peterborough Senior Center (a program of Operation P.E.A.C.E.) for LOTS of talking, learning about each other, playing cards, connecting, and having FUN!
📺Exciting news! NBC10 Boston's Bianca Beltran recently visited one of our #intergenerational Digital Dividends programs. They interviewed older adults and our team for an upcoming story. 🌟Stay tuned—the segment airs next week, and we’ll share all the details soon! 👀
Thank you Bianca and Dan, for your kindness and learning/sharing about LBFE Boston's mission to end isolation, ensure digital equity and connect older people with their neighbors, community, and larger world!

All ages need connection (online and in-person!). Tech Cafe's are a big part of our Digital Dividends program. It's an opportunity for older adults to drop in, bring their devices, troubleshoot tech issues, investigate questions and connect with younger program participants. At Morville House, our intergenerational group has been busy!
