BENEFITS OF INTERGENERATIONAL
PROGRAM FOR OLDER ADULTS

• Enhances Socialization: Older adults remain productive, useful, and contributing members of society. They increase interaction with children and youth and engage more with one another to prevent isolation in later years.

• Stimulates Learning: Older adults learn new innovations and technologies from their younger counterparts.

• Increases Emotional Support: Intergenerational programs afford older adults an opportunity to participate in a meaningful activity. This decreases loneliness, boredom, and depression while increasing self-esteem. Older participants enjoy more enriched lives, a rejuvenated sense of purpose, and increased coping skills for their personal struggles.

• Improves Health: Helping contributes to the maintenance of good health, and can diminish the effect of psychological and physical diseases and disorders.
