The study's short-term goals are to recruit 1,046 participants and 48 schools, to randomize the participants and schools into either the Experience Corps or control condition and to conduct baseline and follow-up evaluations across a 24-month period to assess program effectiveness on the older adults, children and schools. The longer-term goals are to continue to follow the volunteers and children to determine the downstream effects of the program and to explore ways to ensure continued expansion and sustainability. - We can recruit and retain a large cohort of older adult volunteers to the Experience Corps program.
- The volunteers accept the need for randomization to determine the effectiveness of the Experience Corps program.
- The program is perceived as attractive to older adults and as a positive experience by participants, including principals, teachers and children.
