Aging in Community: Amplifying Abundance and Care Through Intergenerational Connections
March 1, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am
The Partnerships in Aging Program at UNC-Chapel Hill and the Marian Cheek Jackson Center have worked together to develop intergenerational programming that encourages community building, good neighbors and age–embracing relationships. The Linking Generations Across Northside and the Northside Residential Fellowship have evolved into rich opportunities for students and older adults to learn and grow together while honoring and renewing the abundant culture and history of Northside, Pine Knolls and Tin Top, the historically Black communities of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. In this presentation, attendees will learn about the history of the Northside communities. Presenters will share lessons learned in developing intergenerational, intra-community relationships that also support the mission of the Jackson Center, a powerful and community-rooted organization. The Jackson Center has multiple partnerships with Carolina and Carolina Engagement Week is pleased to feature three events across the week to spotlight work being done in collaboration with them.
