As the school year comes to a close, we at Generations Incorporated look back at a year of wonderful accomplishments. The final numbers are in!
315 Experience Corps Volunteers
5,025 Students
55,000 Hours
That quantifiable data is a testament to the quality caliber of our volunteers and the dedication they put forth. It has been a fun year, a challenging year, a year of new relationships and old friends. In 2007, our 315 Experience Corps members provided more than 55,000 hours of weekly academic mentoring to 2,290 children and one time community service to 2,735 children. That's quite an accomplishment.

Last Thursday we celebrated these accomplishments at the State Room overlooking the Boston skyline. AmeriCorps members, Experience Corps volunteers and staff all sat back to enjoy the view as well as a delicious lunch. Keynote speakers included Charles Desmond of AARP Massachusetts and Ron Bell of the Office of the Public Liaison.

[Experience Corps Volunteers and AmeriCorps Members from the Hurley]Now we move into summer planning stages for the next school year's programming. We're still driving towards our goal of digging deeper into schools-- serving at least 50% of each school's population-- as well as engaging older adults in other facets of Generations Incorporated. It will be a busy summer. We'll be in touch as things develop!
