Intergenerational Volunteering in Schools


By Meghan - Posted on 12 June 2008

As of yet there are no research data on this specific program; however, it appears that older volunteers without dementia benefit from their volunteer experience in schools through increased social interaction and cognitive activity (see articles on Experience Corps).
