#TogetherWeSoar: Elevating Health and Well-Being Through Connection

At For All Ages, we’re dedicated to connecting the generations and inspiring action to end loneliness, reduce ageism, and improve mental, physical, and social health. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier Connecticut.

Join us and help our neighbors soar.

Your support provides the gifts of intergenerational connection and social health education - vital ingredients for health and well-being.

Today, 60% of our neighbors lack the social connections they need to thrive, contributing to rising rates of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, heart disease, stroke, dementia, and even suicide.

Since our launch in 2019, together we’ve impacted the lives of 38,000 residents through our intergenerational programs, social health literacy initiatives, and community events.

Together, we can bridge generations. Together, we can lift mental, physical, and social health. Together, we can help our neighbors soar.

Our impactful programs include:

• CT Collaborative to End Loneliness: This statewide, cross-sector initiative brings together organizations and individuals focused on improving social connectivity across generations. We’re working to improve social health literacy, engage healthcare providers, advocate for greater attention to social health, and identify and implement lasting solutions to combat loneliness in every age group.

• Tea @ 3 Intergenerational Friendship Community: This 12-week program has paired 700 older adults and college students, fostering lasting friendships that reduce loneliness, break down ageism, and provide a sense of purpose and belonging.

• Buddies & Bobbers Intergenerational Learn-to-Fish Derby: This annual event connects seasoned adult anglers with underserved youth, ages 5-12, for a morning of mentorship, joy, and health-boosting outdoor activity.

• Comfort & Joy Holiday Card Drive: Our volunteers have crafted and delivered 18,000 handmade cards to older adults in assisted living, dementia care units, hospitals, and veterans’ homes—sending a message that they are loved and not forgotten.

Improving social health and ending loneliness has never been more urgent. With your help, we can make a real, lasting difference.

Your support fuels the vital social connections our neighbors need to thrive. Together, we can rise to a healthier, more connected future - one birdie at a time.
