Cook County Healthy Schools
AGE to Age Grant from the Northland Foundation
This exciting project “enables elders, adults, and youth to explore how their generations are alike and how they are different. The program is designed to strengthen relationships among all ages and offer older adults and young people a chance to work together to benefit their communities. Through a guided planning process, older and younger community members are given an equal voice in identifying a local need and devising their own grassroots solution.” For more information, please visit the AGE to age information page on the Northland Foundation’s website.
