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 space 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.
