Imagine a world…
In which every person, regardless of age, felt they belonged and were connected to a caring community. A world in which every person felt valued as a member of society. This is the essence of GrandPals.
Intergenerational Learning, Storytelling & Friendship
We believe stories between generations have the unique power to build collective wisdom of local communities and support a sense of belonging.

The GrandPals Program is an intergenerational program that connects an elementary school class with a small team of GrandPals (adults 55+) to engage in weekly, open conversations providing a path for connection and learning through storytelling.
From Vision to Reality
Through the multi-week program, meaningful connections between generations are formed and are making a lasting difference to:
- build vibrant communities
- combat ageism
- improve well-being
- enhance social-emotional competencies of students
