Intergenerational Programs & Shared Resources
Due to the innovative methodology that developed the McClure Multigenerational Center, seniors are provided unique opportunities to interact with children and young adults of all ages and of a variety of backgrounds. While other groups within the McClure Center are in separate, distinct spaces, there are many opportunities for the groups to come together to share resources, skills and life experiences. The McClure Center's advanced design lets us share kitchen facilities, an art room, outdoor space, garden plots, the library, and a computer room.
Some of the programs enjoyed across the generations at the Center include storytelling, book buddies, shared art classes, and cooking, along with many others.
