Strengthening Communities One Intergenerational Connection at a Time

Updated: Jan 19

Kia ora,


We're thrilled to introduce you to Generations Connect New Zealand (NZ)!


We're on a mission to make a real difference in our communities by promoting intergenerational connections that truly matter. At the core of our organisation lies a profound commitment to fostering meaningful connections that transcend age barriers and breathe life into the fabric of our communities.

Bringing Generations Together: Because Wisdom Knows No Age


At Generations Connect NZ, we're all about bringing generations together. We believe that every age group has something valuable to offer, whether it's wisdom, energy, or fresh perspectives. By fostering connections across generations, we're creating spaces where everyone feels valued and heard.


Central to our mission is the belief in the essential value of intergenerational practice. It's about more than just bringing different age groups together; it's about recognising the wealth of knowledge, experience, and wisdom that each generation brings to the table. By embracing intergenerational dialogue and collaboration, we unlock new possibilities for learning, growth, and mutual understanding.


Uniting Communities Through Shared Values


Our goal is simple: to unite communities through shared values of inclusivity, compassion, and respect. We believe that by embracing these values, we can create a more cohesive and supportive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. These are our guiding principles that shape our interactions, decisions, and aspirations. They remind us to approach every interaction with an open heart and a willingness to listen, learn, and grow.


In a world where divisions seem to grow deeper by the day, we believe in the power of community to bridge the gap between generations. Through developing new initiatives and programs, we strive to create inclusive spaces where true connection between generations can flourish in an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued for who they are.


It means stepping beyond the confines of age-specific activities and embracing the richness that comes from sharing experiences, knowledge, and perspectives across generations. It means recognising the inherent value of every individual, regardless of their age or background.


Supporting Collaboration: Co-Creating a Brighter Future Together


We're firm believers in the adage that together, we are stronger. That's why collaboration lies at the heart of everything we do. By working alongside other organisations and community members, we aim to build bridges that connect generations and break down barriers.


Whether it's partnering with local organisations, engaging community stakeholders, or amplifying the voices of those often marginalised, we're committed to co-creating a future where everyone has a seat at the table and a voice in shaping their own destiny.


Our Vision: A Tapestry of Connection Across Generations


Our vision for the future is clear: we envision a New Zealand where everyone feels like they belong, regardless of age or background. A place where the threads of connection weave seamlessly across generations, creating a vibrant tapestry of shared memories, experiences, and aspirations. By nurturing intergenerational connections, we're building stronger, more resilient communities where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. Together, we can build a future where age is no barrier to belonging, and every generation is celebrated for the unique gifts they bring to our collective journey.
