Love typically reigns in February. But, here at How To!, we are giving friendship its due. For the next three episodes, we're going to teach you how to find friends in surprising places, how to grow and change in your friendship during life transitions, and even how to recover from a friendship breakup.

So today we're starting with a potential cure for our epidemic of loneliness: intergenerational friendships. Emily is in her early 20s and has been rethinking who she considers to be potential friends. On this episode of How To!, Courtney Martin brings on Marci Alboher, a friend and VP at CoGenerate, an organization that brings generations together. She's got some amazing tips for finding connections across ages.

Make sure to tune in next week to learn how to evolve your friendship. In the meantime, check out:
