This spring, Tellegacy is proud to welcome a new cohort of interns joining our Spring 2026 Tellegacy Internship Program, led by Dr. Jeremy Holloway and supported by a multidisciplinary team of mentor professionals across healthcare, research, project management, and community engagement.

This cohort represents emerging leaders from across the United States who are committed to improving health, strengthening aging services, and advancing intergenerational connection through thoughtful, applied work. Their internship experience is designed to go well beyond observation. These students will contribute directly to real projects that support research, healthcare systems, aging services, and community impact.

What the Spring 2026 Interns Will Be Involved In

Interns in this cohort will engage in meaningful, execution-focused work that includes applied research, program evaluation, literature synthesis, project coordination, outreach, and systems development. Depending on role and background, interns will support activities such as:

  • Contributing to healthcare and aging-focused research initiatives
    • Supporting systematic reviews, program evaluations, and evidence synthesis
    • Assisting with community and healthcare partnerships
    • Coordinating projects that support intergenerational programs and training
    • Supporting organizational systems that allow mission-driven work to scale

Throughout the semester, interns will work closely with Dr. Holloway and mentor professionals who provide structure, accountability, and professional guidance.

This Spring 2026 cohort reflects the future of healthcare and community-based work. We are honored to support their development and excited for the contributions they will make during the months ahead.

Get Involved in Intergenerational Impact Through Tellegacy

Intergenerational connection starts locally. Students, professionals, and community members can create meaningful impact by reaching out to a nearby nursing home, assisted living community, memory care setting, or aging center to explore opportunities for connection, learning, and shared experience. These relationships strengthen aging services, support workforce wellbeing, and reduce social isolation in practical ways.

Join the Tellegacy Internship and Community Network

Tellegacy’s internship program offers students the opportunity to engage in applied research, project management, and community-centered work that directly supports older adults and the professionals who serve them. We also collaborate with healthcare organizations, aging services providers, and community partners who are interested in evidence-informed intergenerational programs and training. To learn more about internships, partnerships, or bringing Tellegacy programs to your organization, contact us at social@tellegacy.com.

Together, we can continue building intergenerational solutions that are grounded in dignity, connection, and real-world impact.
