GENconnect Waterloo is a startup social venture, founded by three students currently attending Wilfrid Laurier University. 

​

      At GENconnect Waterloo, we provide student-oriented cooking classes, lead by our team of Chefs. We recruit Seniors from the local community to lead the cooking classes as Chefs, teaching students to cook healthy, delicious and easy meals! 

 

       The overall goal for this program is to provide students and seniors with the opportunity to connect with one another by cooking together. It is through collaborative experiences like this, that we develop intergenerational community connections- leading to an increased sense of community for all participants.
