FOSTER GRANDPARENTS BETTER EQUIP CHILDREN FOR THE FUTURE, AND SHOW AT-RISK YOUTH A BETTER WAY OF LIFE. ?WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AND AN OBLIGATION TO USE EVERY RESOURCE AT OUR DISPOSAL TO FIGHT SOCIETY?S MOST INTRACTABLE AND RELENTLESS CHALLENGES. BY UTILIZING THE TALENTS OF OLDER ADULTS AND INVESTING IN INTERGENERATIONAL SOLUTIONS, WE CAN MAKE OUR WORLD A BETTER PLACE. THE DATA OVERWHELMINGLY SHOWS THAT WHEN WE ENGAGE SENIORS AND YOUNG PEOPLE AROUND A SPECIFIC OUTCOME MEASURE, GOOD THINGS HAPPEN?. (FORBES, 2016) A 2016 STUDY BY STANFORD UNIVERSITY HAS SHOWN THAT OLDER PEOPLE ARE UNIQUELY SKILLED IN CREATING CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN. ADDITIONALLY, THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPSYCHIATRY HAS PROVEN THAT CHILDREN WITH AN OLDER ADULT IN THEIR LIVES ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE BEHAVIORAL OR PSYCHIATRIC PROBLEMS. CHILDREN LEARN BETTER FROM OLDER ADULTS. AARP CREATED THE AARP EXPERIENCE CORPS, WHICH LIKE FOSTER GRANDPARENTS PAIRS YOUTH WITH SENIOR VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT TO CREATE A PROGRAM TO IMPROVE THE READING SKILLS OF CHILDREN FROM IMPOVERISHED NEIGHBORHOODS. STUDENTS WORKING WITH EXPERIENCE CORPS MEMBERS HAVE SHOWN 60% GAINS IN CRITICAL LITERACY SKILLS COMPARED TO THOSE WITHOUT ACCESS TO THESE OLDER VOLUNTEERS, AND THE BOOST IN THEIR READING SKILLS IS EQUIVALENT TO PLACING THEM IN CLASSROOMS WITH 40% FEWER STUDENTS, ACCORDING TO RESEARCHERS FROM WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST.

ADDITIONALLY, OLDER ADULTS WHO REGULARLY VOLUNTEER WITH CHILDREN BURN 20% MORE CALORIES PER WEEK, EXPERIENCED FEWER FALLS, WERE LESS RELIANT ON CANES, AND PERFORMED BETTER ON MEMORY TESTS THAN THEIR PEERS. OLDER ADULTS WITH DEMENTIA AND OTHER COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENTS EXPERIENCE MORE POSITIVE EFFECTS DURING INTERACTIONS WITH CHILDREN THAN THEY DID DURING NON-GENERATIONAL ACTIVITIES. OUR COMMUNITIES BENEFIT FROM INTERGENERATIONAL PROGRAMS LIKE FOSTER GRANDPARENTS. BY BRINGING THESE TWO GROUPS TOGETHER INACCURATE AND NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES ARE DISPELLED. CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND OLDER ADULTS ARE LESS ALIENATED WHILE THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY CAN BE CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS
