The MIT AgeLab will be hosting its annual OMEGA Summit for high school students.
OMEGA – Opportunities for Multigenerational Exchange, Growth, and Action – was created by the MIT AgeLab to support the development and growth of student programs and clubs that connect high school students with older adults.
The OMEGA Summit is an opportunity for students to connect across generations, brainstorm and share programming ideas, meet other students from across New England, and plan intergenerational projects in their schools and communities. Students will also learn about the $1000 OMEGA scholarship and match in the spring available to recipients and their organizations who are leading outstanding intergenerational efforts.
