Inter-generational learning

There are people of my daughter's generation - in their twenties- who show, and sometimes express, longing for a cause about which they can feel passionate. Sometimes they are drawn to stories and music from a time when "movements" were about finding common ground, about joining forces to combat bigotry and ignorance, about the pursuit of peaceful coexistence and not about "tea parties".
Those who were there before them, have a lot to teach and a lot to learn from a younger generation. Wise latinas help nurture and support emerging leaders.
Community-based organizations are natural meeting places and ideal settings for inter-generational leadership development. The Girls' and Young Women's Initiative of the Grand Street Settlement is one example of an incubator for future leaders and inter-generational learning. We learn from each other every day - from the seniors and teens and toddlers. I will share lessons learned with you.
