Generation Xchange is a partnership among the UCLA Department of Medicine Divisions of Geriatrics and General Internal Medicine, the Los Angeles Urban League and principals from several L.A. Unified School District elementary schools. The project is an inter-generational program that places older volunteers into kindergarten through third grade elementary school classrooms to help students improve reading and math skills. Its goal is to improve academic and behavioral outcomes for the children while simultaneously offering health promotion for older adult volunteers.
