Owen, Melissa; And Others
Small Town, v26 n6 p20-25 May-Jun 1996
An intergenerational project trained older adult volunteers from a small South Carolina community to teach vocational skills to students at a residential school for at-risk youth. Volunteers helped students with production and marketing of goods and services for six school-based companies. Benefits include enhanced sense of community for volunteers and valuable job and life skills for youth. (LP)
