Abstract

Community agencies which serve the aged and the young have most often been created to fill need gaps for age specific groups with few attempts to coordinate programs to deal with problems of generational isolation accruing from lack of intergenerational contacts. Those who work with families, community agencies, and educational institutions can serve key roles in reestablishing family-like environments which bring people of all ages back together. Relevant literature is summarized and programming suggestions are made to aid those who work with families to identify and coordinate formal and informal aging-youth-child community networks, to provide for intergenerational experience, and to serve as sites for intergenerational interaction research.
