Intergenerational Resources

What would happen if older adults and young people got together to talk about what matters most to them?

Evaluation data suggests those conversations and interactions improve academic performance among students and various dimensions of health for older adults, and they bolster a strong sense of community and compassion.

Research also shows that every age group is positively impacted by these types of programs. They enrich participants’ lives and help address vital social and community issues.

The programs build on the positive resources that young people and elders have to offer each other and their community.
