This guide presents the Community for All Ages framework, an intergenerational approach to community building. It first defines the framework (p. 11) and then covers five phases of work:

  1. Initiating the process
  2. Developing and strengthening cross-sector collaboration
  3. Building intergenerational resident leadership
  4. Assessing your community using an intergenerational lens
  5. Using intergenerational approaches for strategic planning and action

Appendix A (p. 104) provides sample team building activities for intergenerational groups to encourage active engagement.
