Intergenerational Volunteers WantedChildren and adults 50 and over have the poten-tial to be special friends. Older adults contribute their wisdom, experience, and perspective to the relationship, while children bring energy, enthu-siasm and creativity. Would you like to be that special adult in a child’s life—providing friend-ship, being a role model, and helping her/him to learn? Intergenerational volunteers work just a few hours a week in Minneapolis Public Schools, helping students with math or reading, offering encouragement and support, sharing hobbies or life experience. Training is provided and flexible schedules are available.
