Heyman Interages Center



Through the JCA Heyman Interages Center, more than 200 volunteers deliver programs in Montgomery County, Maryland that enable children and older adults to collaborate and become friends.  Among the many programs are Grandreaders, a literacy program for children in second grade; Intergenerational Bridges, which pairs older mentors with newly arrived immigrant children in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) programs; and Project SHARE, which links of children of all ages to participants in adult day programs and residents of assisted living facilities.  The Intergenerational Resource Center helps professionals and organizations learn from Interages' success.
