In this episode, welcome Arielle Galinsky, Harvard Kennedy School MPP candidate, CEO and co‑founder of The Legacy Project Inc., and Teen Vogue contributor, to discuss the power of intergenerational advocacy.
Arielle shares her personal journey, from her passion for aging policy to co‑founding The Legacy Project at Tufts, where college students interview and build friendships with older adults to preserve their life stories. She explains how these connections combat isolation, foster empathy, and spark policy engagement.
Whether you're a Gen Z changemaker, a caregiver, or simply care about making aging policy more equitable, this episode highlights how intergenerational connection leads to civic action and systems change.
