These intergenerational programs are distinguished by approaches that focus on meeting the most important needs of disadvantaged youth. The programs make use of both the parenting skills and life experience of senior adults in an effort to reach high-risk groups. Initiatives include programs designed to help teenage mothers rear their children, help to strengthen employment prospects, and tutor potential school dropouts. The available evidence suggests the value of developing more intergenerational programs for helping at-risk youth as the supportive one-to-one relationships these programs promote and the learning that is exchanged by both the youth and the senior adults are considerable. Several examples of intergenerational programs for at-risk youth are described.
