Generation Link

Gen Link logo

Generation Link aims to lessen the generation gap by connecting tamariki with older folk within their local communities.

Gen Link aims to:

  • connect our young and older people
  • reduce isolation of older people

Working alongside schools already involved with Do Some Good, Gen Link will provide and facilitate the transport and support to bring seniors from their home to tamariki at school, during school hours.

Seniors will be encouraged to interact with the children through facilitated and organised activities such as book reading, storytelling, playing board games, and gardening.

How it works

A van will pick up seniors and transport them to the Do Some Good school in their area. This will happen weekly across the schools. The Generation Link initiative will act as the facilitator between young people and seniors.
