Making the Connection: SaYES to Intergenerational Service-Learning
Access tools and resources to forge new intergenerational service-learning partnerships. SaYES-Seniors and Youth Engaged in Service-an initiative of Learn and Serve America and Senior Corps, has been created to help connect Senior Corps volunteers, particularly age 50+ Baby Boomers, to support K-12 service-learning activities. Three modules lead learners through: the process of creating partnerships around service-learning, strategies for schools to engage older adult volunteers in service-learning, and strategies for volunteer organizations to find and keep age 50+ adult volunteers. Additional resources, downloadable forms, templates, and marketing tools enable course users to move quickly from learning into practice. This course was created cooperatively by the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory.
