It describes how the selection of a 150-year-old barn for the site of a daylong intergenerational pro…

Conceptual Frameworks and Practical Applications to Connect Generations in the Technoscape
There are many ways to frame and use technology so it functions as a pathway to intergenerational engagement. The ever evolving technoscape is filled with powerful technological tools and resources that help people connect, communicate, build relationships, and take collective action across generations. This technology can be life-altering, especially for isolated seniors and families navigating long distance relationships. However, at the center…

The term grandfamilies refers to families with relative caregivers raising children.

These intervention efforts provide emotional and instrument…

Environmental Design Perspectives on Intergenerational Programs and Practices
One of the critical issues in the intergenerational studies field is the lack of attention to how the physical environment plays a role in promoting, or inhibiting, intergenerational engagement. Whereas attention has been paid to the goal of creating “multi-generational” settings, where the physical environment is designed to accommodate the physical and psychological needs of people across the age and ability spectrum, there has been less consid…

Planning for these events is driven by a collaborative process involving representatives of local community organizations and agencies. The rationale for…
Cooperation and Coalition Development Among Neighborhood Organizations
The widespread existence and importance of progressive interorganizational coali tions are well documented in the social science literature and in the popular media. We often hear about the benefits of such coalition formation (e.g., "power in num bers" and "mutual support"). However, questions of how coalitions actually work and what can be done to help coalitions achieve their commonly held goals are often neglected. Through an in depth analysi…
