What We BelieveWe believe in the power of community to create lasting positive change. Seniors deserve to feel valued, seen, and supported, and youth deserve meaningful opportunities to connect, contribute, and be change makers. Our mission is to bridge the gap between generations and build multigenerational connections.
How It All StartedYEG Seniors Project was founded in May 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Witnessing the profound social isolation experienced by older adults and reflecting on her own grandparents’ experiences, founder Meera Kassam felt a deep responsibility to respond. What began as a personal act of empathy quickly evolved into a community-driven initiative focused on bridging generations and creating meaningful connections and experiences for local seniors.
Our Community ImpactThrough projects, partnerships, grants, and volunteer efforts, we have positively impacted thousands of seniors while showcasing our unwavering commitment to bridging the generational divide.
