How can K–12 schools become spaces where generations learn from and support one another? Generations United hosted an engaging webinar highlighting three innovative school models that connect students and older adults in meaningful ways.
Learn how a co-located high school and senior center in Swampscott, Massachusetts, foster relationships across age and culture, how a high school in Hudson, New Hampshire, that houses an adult day care center prepares students for careers in health and human services while enriching the lives of older adults, and how older adult volunteers help elementary students strengthen their reading and math skills.
