This year marks the first time that there are more people in America over age 60 than under age 18. California’s own aging population is set to grow 87 percent in the next two decades, and many fear the consequences. Inspired by her personal experience – and 20 years working in the field – Eunice Lin Nichols helps organizations and governments leverage this experienced population as an asset to young people and our state. Nichols leads Encore.org’s Generation to Generation (Gen2Gen) campaign to engage 1 million adults over 50 in the lives of young people — building bridges across differences of age, race, and income; improving life for older and younger generations; and creating a better future for all. More than 215 partner organizations throughout California and the nation have joined Gen2Gen’s campaign to positively impact lives. For example, FIRST 5 Santa Clara County is expanding its use of older volunteers from six family resource centers to all 27. Soon, 200 older volunteers there will help 650 young children thrive.
