Civic Ventures

CoGenerate was founded 25 years ago to change cultural expectations for the years beyond 50 and encourage older people to apply their skills to second acts for the greater good. We now focus on what the vast and growing older population can do in collaboration with younger people to solve todays most pressing problems. We believe intergenerational collaboration -- what we call cogeneration -- is an essential and effective strategy to forge bonds across differences, combat polarization and ageism, and bring all generations skills and talents to bear on our nations most pressing problems. Our mission today is to bring older and younger people together to solve problems, bridge divides, and co-create the future.
