A global team with a simple mission: bringing smiles to seniors.
Gentle Generations started as a two person sibling team - Anushka and Anshul Noori who shared the experience of caring for their ailing grandmother until she passed away in 2019. Initially, they reached out to friends and neighbors, inviting them to support the mission of Gentle Generations and help create simple but meaningful acts of kindness for elders in their community.
Along the way, individuals from all over who heard about their efforts also joined in, sending letters, cards, and art work for the elderly.
As interest grew, they began connecting with community organizations—hospitals, local groups such as the YMCA, faith-based organizations, schools, nursing homes, and nonprofits focused on elder causes, including state advocacy groups and the Alzheimer’s Association. Through these partnerships, Gentle Generations’ network of volunteers and supporters steadily expanded.
As their reach continued to grow, Gentle Generations introduced regional chapters, offering youth an opportunity to take on leadership roles while receiving mentorship from the Gentle Generations leadership team.
Today, the Gentle Generations team includes a global community working to ease isolation in the elderly while fostering connections between younger and older generations.
Gentle Generations' Chapters
At Gentle Generations, we offer a range of programs designed to support the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of seniors at every stage of aging. Each of our chapters naturally focuses on one or more program areas, choosing their direction based on members’ interests, talents, expertise, and the needs of their local community.
Our core programs are informed by neuroscience research as well as lived experiences from seniors, caregivers, and volunteers.
