#Gen2GenSummer Challenge

The #Gen2GenSummer Challenge is part of Encore.org’s Generation to Generation campaign, a national effort to inspire adults over 50 to make a positive difference in the lives of children and youth. Challenge yourself to create meaningful Gen2Gen moments that last a lifetime by helping at least one young person bridge gaps in learning, jobs, meals and play. For some, summer is a time when learning stops, meals are scarce, and caring adults during the day are less accessible. Those that need a summer job don’t always know where to look and safe places for exercise and play may not exist.  Click here to accept the Gen2Gen Summer Challenge and get started!
