This paper describes a unique intergenerational project that the authors propose to be considered under the banner of “shared site” programs. The Meadows School Project shares important features with many intergenerational shared site programs. Its goals to build community, dispel stereotypes, and increase understanding and meaning in relationships between generations are achieved through intensive, high-quality interaction sustained over time. This case study highlights benefits and challenges in line with those noted in other studies of intergenerational shared sites and underscores the importance of further research on important environmental, community, program, and policy dimensions to inform theory and best practice guidelines
