The Big Idea
Youth across Hibbing, Ely and Silver Bay are eager to volunteer and build connections with caring adults. Older adults have time, experience and talent to share. The Northland Foundation's Age to Age initiative intends to bring the two groups together and help make rural towns great places for growing up and growing older. The initiative wants to help interested cohorts of community members plan and design intergenerational programs that address local needs and opportunities.
