THE GRANDPARENT PROJECT

The Grandparent Project was sponsored by Carpinteria’s Rincon High School and Gran Vida Senior Living as a special project for select teens to have weekly visits with their "buddy" Grandparents at the local senior community in Carpinteria.

“As Life Enrichment Director at Gran Vida, I was honored to witness the exchange of mutual respect, wisdom and tender hearted kindness gradually bridge the intergenerational divide. The exchange reinforced my belief that intergenerational engagement is essential for the survival of our elders and our youth, especially during these challenging times!” Gillian Summers
