Campus Compact Introduces Campus Cogenerate

Posted by Campus Compact on September 27, 2022

We are excited to announce the launch of Campus Cogenerate, a new initiative developed by Encore.org  and Campus Compact focused on the power generated when older and younger people come together to engage with communities in solving problems, bridging divides, and co-creating a better future—or what we call “cogeneration.”

Many community-engaged campuses already offer lifelong learning programs, provide intergenerational community service experiences, or connect age-diverse populations for mutual learning and exchange. Cogeneration takes this a step further, bringing generations together to solve pressing problems. During a time of growing civic discord, age divides, social isolation, and inequity, intergenerational collaboration on campuses and in the surrounding communities can produce a windfall of social capital along with much-needed generational and cultural understanding.
