History

The origin of IGET (Intergenerational East Troy) began after several years of community discussions and research that identified several wants from residents, one being a community center. Research indicated three primary areas. Seniors would enjoy volunteer activities, especially those involving youth and younger adults. There was little awareness of or accessibility to many of the social services offered in the county and a lack of large activity/meeting spaces for community groups and families. With research in hand, the group was able to lease space from the East Troy School District, and the East Troy Area Intergenerational Community Center (known as IGET) was opened in 2019.

Collaboration relationships include, but are not limited to, the East Troy School District, Aging and Disability Resource Center of Walworth County, Southeastern Wisconsin Workforce Development, East Troy Family & Community Resource Center, Citizens Bank, East Troy Manor, and The Heritage Senior housing facility.

Memberships – IGET is a member of Generations United, the Wisconsin Association of Senior Centers, and the East Troy Chamber of Commerce.
