Our Connecting Generations initiative is a multi-tiered, intergenerational initiative committed to improving mental health and building resilience among individuals affected by trauma. Centered on structured mentorship, historical immersion, and meaningful exchange across generations, the program provides healing pathways for youth—especially those impacted by loss, foster care, or the invisible scars of war. By bridging the past with the present, Connecting Generations fosters empathy, strength, and a renewed sense of purpose in both our young participants and the veterans who guide them.

“Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.”
