Center for Social Development

Experience Corps (EC) is an inter-generational tutoring program that places older adults in public schools to help students who have been identified as poor readers. CSD's research investigates the program's effects on participating students and on the older adults who provide the tutoring. Research on students is conducted at EC sites in Boston and New York; research on older adults is conducted in 18 cities with EC programs. Funding provided by Atlantic Philanthropies.
