Generation Connect Internship + Service Camp
about generation connect
internship + service camp
Generation Connect promotes intergenerational relationships between high school students and elders through a micro-internship and summer camp format. In June 2025, Pebble Tossers and A.G. Rhodes will offer our week-long educational and fun opportunity where teens will engage in meaningful volunteer projects and learn important life skills.
Selected volunteers are paired with elders at A.G. Rhodes to gather and record oral histories, spend time, and develop relationships across different generations. The goals of the camp are to build and strengthen connections between people, to teach the value of listening, and to introduce youth to career development opportunities in the fields of healthcare, social work, elder care, and facility administration.
The biggest thing I learned while at A.G.Rhodes was that even though we are all parts of different generations, we aren’t very different from each other after all.
