Since 1979 we have built inclusive communities that span generations and cultures to prevent and relieve isolation and loneliness.
LBFE Boston works to relieve isolation and loneliness among the elderly through intergenerational programming. We bring college students into senior housing buildings, senior centers, and assisted living communities across the city for weekly social engagements, creative activities, and computer classes.
"Today was my last session with Grove Hall Community Center / 51 Geneva Ave, and it was sad to say goodbye. I'm glad I've made so many great memories with the participants, it's been an absolute pleasure to lead Bingo each week." - Andrew, Student Participant
That's what LBFE Boston is all about. Relieving isolation & loneliness among our older neighbors and helping to facilitate intergenerational friendships.

One recent Pew study showed that 'older adults continue to lag behind younger adults when it comes to technology adoption in that 41% do not use the internet at all, 23% do not use cell phones, and over 75% say they require help when learning how to use new technology.'
Our Digital Dividends program aims to close the digital divide for adults in Boston public senior housing by giving laptops and six-months of internet connectivity free of charge along with weekly training.
