Abstract:
Most research on intergenerational service-learning has focused on the benefits for college students, with fewer studies examining the benefits to older adults. The present study was designed to assess the impact on older adults of participating in Working Together: Intergenerational Student/Senior Exchange, a brief intergenerational service-learning program that brings together college students and older adults as equal partners to promote intergenerational understanding and communication. Older adults from an assisted living community met up to six times with students enrolled in aging-related courses to discuss a variety of topics and get to know one another. Results showed brief intergenerational service-learning benefits older adults with significant increases in generativity from pre-to post-program assessment. Additionally, a large percentage of the participants expressed interest in participating again and a willingness to refer others to the program. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
