The Champion Intergenerational Enrichment and Education Center, located in the Near East Side of Columbus, is a partnership between The Ohio State University, Columbus Early Learning Centers, and National Church Residences. Established in 2015, the center aims to promote the health and wellness of older adults, children, their families, and community members through intergenerational activities and services. It plays a crucial role in transforming the Near East Side of Columbus, an area with a high proportion of children and adults age 55 and older, as well as a significant African-American population and residents below the poverty level. The center supports reducing disparities among low-income and minority older adults in healthy and productive aging, with a focus on enhancing the quality of care for participants and increasing opportunities for education and community outreach. It is an important resource for the community, providing essential services and contributing to the overall well-being of individuals of all ages.
