Designing Intergenerational Service-Learning Courses Based on Student Characteristics.

Nichols, Allison H.; Monard, Kathia

Educational Gerontology, v27 n1 p37-48 Jan-Feb 2001

A survey of 230 students in intergenerational service learning courses identified their motivations for involvement. Younger women were interested in relationship-related benefits; older women in altruism and knowledge gains. Males were interested in gaining credits and opportunities to work in areas of potential career interest. (SK)
