Sharon MacKenzie - Founder of i2i

Sharon L. MacKenzie, (BA, MEd-UBC, Canada) is an educator of thirty years, Kindergarten to University, and has been dedicated to creating intergenerational learning opportunities within community. She has successfully connected government mandated curriculum, youth, and older adults at all levels of involvement.

From the once a year visit between children and elders, to the regular monthly ‘craft and connect' format, Sharon moved into development and implementation of a highly acclaimed and unique full immersion model, The Meadows School ProjectTM.

In 2008 Sharon left her teaching position to found the i2i Intergenerational Society with the purpose of bringing youth and older adults together across Canada. She has authored the three intergenerational curricula and kits linked on this website, in cooperation with government and organizations. Presently, she travels across the country speaking to groups and individuals assisting them in the planning and implementation of intergenerational activities.
