Connect the Ages!

In November 2016, I had the unique opportunity to participate in a media campaign as part of Connect the Ages, a grassroots organization dedicated to connecting young people to careers in aging. Connect the Ages was founded by Amanda Cavaleri, who has dedicated her life to fighting isolation among older adults, vowing to connect generations, thus forming lasting bonds which help to enrich the lives of both older adults and their younger counter parts.

She has launched her first video of a series which highlights not only the rewards of careers related to the aging population, but also the benefits that these can provide to society as a whole. By getting students invested in our rapidly aging population at the earliest of ages, we can create a world in which stereotypes, disproportionate healthcare services, and social isolation cease to exist.

You can find Amanda's Tedx Talk here. It is quite inspiring to hear her ideas on how to combat ageist views within a "youth-obsessed" society.

More videos to come! Get involved, get together, and connect the ages!
