Would you like to volunteer with Bridges Together? We help community leaders to connect with local older adults who want to participate in intergenerational programs. We also rely on dedicated volunteers at BT HQ in Sudbury who help us at the administrative level so that we can grow more efficiently, touching more lives.
Below are Massachusetts communities (as well as communities in Berkeley, CA and Mt. Pleasant, MI) that are running programs. Contact information is included so that you can reach out to the administrators directly for more information.
If you would like to start a Bridges Together program in your own town or help as a “champion,” contact our Intergenerational Facilitator Julie Shaw via email or at 978.793.9509.
