Residents from The Fountains at La Cholla are with kids in a classroom at an elementary school.

At The Fountains at La Cholla, meaningful connections flourish through an intergenerational pen pal program that bridges the gap between residents and local students. As a recent KVOA News 4 Tucson feature highlighted, this initiative has brought together individuals from different generations, fostering friendships and mutual understanding.

The program pairs residents with students from a nearby school, encouraging them to exchange letters and share their life experiences. Through this correspondence, participants have discovered common interests and gained new perspectives. The culmination of this exchange was a heartfelt meet-and-greet event, where pen pals met in person, solidifying the bonds formed through their letters.

This initiative exemplifies The Fountains at La Cholla's commitment to creating enriching experiences that promote connection and community engagement. By facilitating interactions between different generations, the program not only combats loneliness but also provides valuable opportunities for learning and growth.
