Generations United 's (http://www.gu.org) new animated video about the value of intergenerational communities serves as a companion piece to the infographic in our Creating an Age-Advantaged Community Toolkit (http://www.gu.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=S5ph9QfDu7A%3d&tabid=157&mid=606). The video is an engaging tool for educating and inspiring communities to embrace and invest in intergenerational solutions. The video brings data to life while demonstrating the transformational impact of supporting, empowering, and engaging all ages.
