Older Adults in Uruguay: Volunteer Work and Civic Service Actors

Productive Aging

Our Civic Service Research Fellows study investigated the characteristics of civic service programs in Uruguay that most effectively recruit and retain older adults. In addition, the study compares civic service programs for older adults with those for young people to gain insight from both types of service and to develop guidelines that organizations can apply to their social development programs.

Funding Partner: Ford Foundation
