🌍 Global Intergenerational Week 2026 | April 24–30

Now in its sixth year, Global Intergenerational Week celebrates the power of meaningful connections between generations worldwide—and at DOROT, this work is at our core.

Today, we’re sharing one of our favorite videos, “You Shine: DOROT Intergenerational Connections,” which showcases friendships between older adults and teens—relationships filled with joy, trust, and shared understanding. These connections are just one of the many ways DOROT combats loneliness every single day, both IRL (in real life 🙂) and online.

➡️ Join us: Learn more about our online intergenerational program, GENuine Connections, and find out how you can get involved at www.dorotusa.org/GENuineconnections

It’s been an energizing few days at the American Society on Aging conference. ✨

Our team connected with colleagues from across the aging field—bringing DOROT’s work into conversations about evaluation, belonging, and justice driven community programs.

Julia Kessler-Hollar, Senior Program Officer of Supportive Services, presented on DOROT’s new strengths-based home assessment, reframing what it looks like to truly see older adults in their own spaces.

Ali Hodin Baier, Chief Program Officer, joined Amy Eisenstein of the RRF Foundation for Aging to demystify program evaluation for community-based organizations.

Claire Solomon Nisen & Charles Markham, Managers on our Onsite & Special Programs team, partnered with SAGE and Justice In Aging for a powerful panel on meeting this moment for LGBTQIA+ elders, immigrants, people of color, and older adults living on limited incomes.

Between sessions, our team reconnected with longtime collaborators, met new ones, and sat in rooms full of people deeply committed to aging with dignity, belonging, and joy.

We're leaving inspired, connected, and ready to bring these ideas back home. Thank you to the American Society on Aging for a meaningful week! đź’ś

Next up for Global Volunteer Month (& National Volunteer Week!), we're hearing from Odile and her daughter Vivi. After multiple visits with Mrs. Lennard (who recently turned 101!), their connection has grown into something truly special—they consider Mrs. Lennard a surrogate grandma to Vivi. 💓

A moment from the Yom HaShoah concert, featuring DOROT Artist‑in‑Residence Jeanne Golan performing works by Viktor Ullmann (1898–1944). Through her "Recovered Voices" series, Golan brings forward music by composers who were persecuted or killed by the N**i regime, honoring their lives and legacies through music.

We were delighted to welcome jazz pianist Gabriel Schillinger-Hyman and guest performer AC Lincoln—tap dancer and vocalist—to DOROT for a dynamic exploration of tap dance on film and the jazz sounds that brought these iconic moments to life. 🎶

Through live music, movement, and conversation, Gabriel and AC traced how jazz standards born on the silver screen helped shape unforgettable cinematic performances—and how film carried jazz into the collective imagination.

This event was part of DOROT’s Jazz on the Silver Screen series, which celebrates the powerful relationship between jazz and cinema. At DOROT, we believe shared cultural experiences spark connection, creativity, and joy at every age.
