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.
