摘要：“Intergenerational programming” refers to the wide range of initiatives that aim to bring young people and older adults together to interact, stimulate, educate, support, and provide care for one another. In recent years, we have seen a groundswell of intergenerational program activity at the local and national levels, grounded in a variety of disciplines and taking place in a wide range of settings. Such initiatives represent a practical, effective means for enriching the lives of young people and older adults, promoting family cohesion, and strengthening community support systems. This article focuses on intergenerational programming from the perspective of cooperative extension, a national educational network linked to land-grant universities throughout the country. Discussion centers on how intergenerational programming strategies have been used and can be enhanced to strengthen and enrich extension programs, particularly in the children, youth, and family area.
