The program, run by Dedham High School teacher Michael Medeiros, includes a field trip to the Dedham Historical Society as well as a luncheon celebration at the Endicott Estate. The completed work of the students is compiled into a book which is then archived at the Dedham Historical Society.

Intergenerational Summer Camp 2019
Livable Dedham partnered with the Dedham Community House Teen Camp and the Tufts Health Plan Foundation to focus the Camp’s community service and civic engagement on age friendly initiatives – making our community a great place to grow up and grow old. Over the course of the summer, campers learned about Dedham's (and the world’s) aging population and explored solutions to challenges such as transportation, communication, volunteer opportunities and programs/activities for older adults.

Dwelling on the Future: Taking Stock of Dedham's Neighborhood Housing Need |

Livable Dedham aims to help Dedham residents of all ages and abilities have access to high quality, affordable housing, and community-based support services. Livable Dedham hosted the 2019 Housing Series to build awareness, encourage discussion, and create momentum around increasing housing options in Dedham, where 41% of residents are projected to be age 55+ by 2030. See coverage of Livable Dedham's Spring Housing series here.
