Making the Connection: SaYES to Intergenerational Service-Learning
Access tools and resources to forge new
intergenerational service-learning partnerships. This course has been created to help Senior Corps volunteers 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.
