No, it's 12 years away by radio wave, which means 24 years for a round trip communication.
Physical travel is out of scope, but we could share knowledge in the (extremely) unlikely case that we found intelligent life with radio technology.

It seems technically possible, it is just a matter of paying for something like this and pinning hopes on the next generations to follow through with it and appreciate it. It seems like if we had that sort of will, climate change and some other issues would almost be non-issues.
