Middle School history students participate in an interactive presentation with four veterans from the Virginia Wounded Warrior Program. Students watch a presentation and YouTube clip about the history of our WWII veterans, discuss career decisions, and ask questions. Each student completes this service learning initiative by expressing their appreciation for veterans' services by making a card for a veteran participating in the Honor Flight program. (The Honor Flight program transports America's veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices.) The cards are given to the veterans on their return trip from visiting the WWII Memorial that honors their service; we are told that this is the most emotional part of the veterans' journey. Our staff feels this program is a tremendous motivator towards life-long volunteering and a great deterrent from drugs, alcohol and gangs.

GHFC is unique in that the children and adults are cared for in one structure, have one entrance to the building where both generations enter and exit, and intergenerational activities are a daily component of our program. There are structured times for interaction between the generations as well as many times that the interaction is spontaneous and need-based. Programs from the USA, Spain and universities have visited the Center for its quality and unique model.
