Join us in celebrating National Intergenerational Day! 🌟

Today, we celebrate the connections, learning, and sense of belonging that can happen when people of different generations come together.

Whether it's sharing stories with an older adult, learning a new skill from someone younger, volunteering together, or simply taking the time to connect across generations, these interactions help build stronger and more inclusive communities.

Looking for a way to celebrate?
💙 Call or visit an older relative, neighbour, or friend.
💙 Share a skill or learn something new from someone of a different generation.
💙 Volunteer together in your community.
💙 Start a conversation and listen to each other's experiences.

At Volunteer Victoria, we're excited to be exploring new ways to bring youth and older adults together through meaningful volunteer experiences.

👀 Watch this space for upcoming intergenerational volunteer opportunities and community events!
