Since 1979, LBFE Boston has sought to alleviate social isolation among older Bostonians. Today, our work focuses on bringing intergenerational, technology, and arts programming to older Bostonians in public and affordable senior housing and senior centers.
This week, meet our friend, Laiying. "I joined LBFE because of its dedication to working to close the age gap between generations and providing support to older individuals in the community." Get to know Laiying here: lbfeboston.org/about-us/staff/

We love this conversation with Damon and Oleg, participants in our CitySites program at The Peterborough Senior Center (a program of Operation P.E.A.C.E.). It shows just how important it is to create opportunities for older and younger generations to connect, share stories and skills, learn about one another, and experience joy!
