Generations Incorporated strengthens individuals and communities in Greater Boston by uniting older adults with K-3rd grade students in need of literacy tutoring.

We are Greater Boston’s host to Experience Corps, an award-winning national program engaging people over the age of 55 in meeting their communities’ greatest challenges.

In Boston, Chelsea and Revere, we engage over 300 older adult volunteer “members” annually to deliver scientifically-proven literacy interventions to more than 2,500 public school students.
