These 15 Gen2Gen Innovation Fellows are practical visionaries with ambitious initiatives to bridge generational divides.

Over the course of the nine-month fellowship, each created a three-minute video that explains how they’re bringing younger and older people together to solve critical problems from affordable housing to social isolation to racial injustice.

If you’re looking for ideas, inspiration or the best way to make three minutes as compelling as they can be, check out the videos below.
