Guiding Generations, aka Project GG, is an intergenerational learning program serving the community that is housed at CREATE at Temple University. Project GG engages grandfamilies with children ages 5-8 in workshops and events, that focus on learning, support, and fun!
Caregivers participate in a series of educational workshops, mentoring, and caregiver empowerment activities, while their children receive homework help and academic enrichment support. Families that complete program activities are eligible for stipends, group trips, and community linkage support.
Guiding Generations’ workshops are developed and led by community partners, The Educational Advocates Reaching Today’s Hardworking Students, Inc. (The E.A.R.T.H.S) and its affiliated program, PARENT POWER (What Will You Do With Yours?). With a focus on the principle “for the community, by the community”, we strengthen relationships through connection to each other and empower caregivers to feel confident and supported.
