Abstract

ABSTRACTIntergenerational practitioners have identified documentation of impact as the greatest challenge. Intergenerational program outcomes are best understood when interpreted through a theory-research-practice framework. We present theory and evidence informing an intergenerational model developed and tested over several years in the current paper. Theories emphasizing relationships, both interpersonal and with the environment, figure centrally in the model. Empirical data from multiple sources further support the practices. Steps needed to further test the model are described. A validated, parsimonious practice model can support successful implementation and evaluation of intergenerational programs, meeting an identified need for training and evaluation resources.
