Abstract:

Community service-learning closes the gap between youth and elderly, as students not only learn language, history, and science, but also gain perspectives about the lives of seniors. Examples are cited of students learning history by bonding with senior citizens or improving their writing skills, self image, and appreciation for an older generation by adopting seniors as pen pals.
