Bringing Generations and Cultures Together is one of UPN's most impactful community programs. This fall, we'll match up to twenty households in Grand Forks with three volunteers each. And we're inviting YOU to register for this program!
During the orientation, you'll be treated to a free soup and salad supper, finish the program registration process, and get matched with your team. Let's make a SOUPER START on this program -- together!
September 30, 6-7:30PM
University Lutheran Community Room
Participating households will represent our local Grand Forks elder population and our New American population in Grand Forks. Volunteers will include local families, UND students of all backgrounds, and other community members.
Intergenerational and intercultural groups will work together for ten hours throughout fall 2025 to complete service hours and attend local events together. This could include home repair and/or home maintenance tasks that support residents over the age of 50 to age-in-place longer and more safely OR community service projects that impact the entire community. Students and new families will learn about Grand Forks history and culture, as well as get advice on making a good life in the Grand Forks community.
Project supply funds will be provided to the groups as needed, through the support of the Community Foundation of Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, and Region, Blue Zones Project Grand Forks, and the Knight Foundation.
