LBFE Boston is a community-based nonprofit committed to relieving and preventing social isolation among older adults. We bring intergenerational, social, tech, and creative arts programs to older adults in public/affordable senior housing and senior centers.
#DayFive Communities that invest in #intergenerational initiatives experience a 20% increase in community cohesion and a 15% decrease in crime rates. This Global Intergenerational Week, how can you contribute towards an age-connected future?
One simple idea: support LBFE Boston's spring appeal so we can expand our programming and connect more older and younger adults in more cities! givebutter.com/0325S #GIW25 ... See MoreSee Less

Jean, one of our Creative Connections #poetry participants (she’s in the green shirt!), recently shared a heartwarming story—after class, she read the day’s poem to her 9-year-old grandson. He wasn’t sure it sounded like a “real poem” (no rhymes!), so he took the debate to ChatGPT 😄
That sparked a whole afternoon of reading more poems together. Jean wrote to instructor Patti, “I think it’s kind of fun that my 9-year-old is learning something from my senior center poetry class.”
Just one hour of poetry turned into a beautiful #multigenerational learning moment. Thank you, Partners in Rhyme!

Yesterday we hosted our 2nd Annual Multigenerational Mixer celebrating Global Intergenerational Week! 💫 It truly was a joyful afternoon connecting our older & younger participants, community partners, sponsors, supporters, media, and Fenway neighbors.
We saw the magic that happens when generations connect—these relationships aren’t just nice to have, they’re essential to healthy aging for ALL of us and building community! ❤️
Thank you to everyone who joined us and to our sponsors Senior Whole Health of Massachusetts & 2Life Communities, Boston Red Sox for donating the door prizes/tickets, our amazing caterer @jg_charcuterie, and Fenway Community Center for hosting again this year!
