Because we’re stronger together There are many types of intergenerational programs ranging from mentoring and community service to service learning and workforce development. The goals of these programs are just as varied. Some programs primarily focus on improving academic outcomes among younger generations with older volunteers as tutors, mentors, allies, and friends. Other programs primarily focus on improving social, health, and economic aspects for older adults with younger generations as partners. While other programs aim to promote healthier lifestyle behaviors for both generations simultaneously, thereby lowering health risks. The possibilities for intergenerational programs are endless. Intergenerational programs are meaningful, important, and fun. And they need to be thoughtfully developed with theory and informed by evidence.

Supportive adults, nutritious food, safety, nurturing relationships and enrichment are critical to healthy growth and development. One strategy for providing cost-effective, high quality early education is to develop Intergenerational shared sites. These are intentionally designed places that provide services and/or programs to multiple generations concurrently and foster meaningful cross-age relationships. Participants interact in planned intergenerational activities as well as through informal encounters. Shared sites are more than physical places; they are shared spaces that have collective meaning for participants of different ages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628ffcf0da52521db0ae3d9d/d97945d6-d56a-456e-9bb0-2d525924a52b/GettyImages-1004303840-resized.jpg Programs - Investing in Children & Youth - Academic Achievement & Healthy Youth Development There are significant disparities in educational achievement based on race, disability, language and socioeconomic status. Schools need adequate resources to create successful learning conditions for students, particularly those with disabilities or language barriers and those who are impacted by poverty. (MI Kids Count 2021) Intergenerational strategies such as utilizing older adults as tutors/ mentors and engaging children, youth and older adults in educational and community service activities can help young people gain the academic and social skills they need to succeed.
