Generations Incorporated
Generations Incorporated, founded in 1991, is a non-profit organization based in Boston, Massachusetts. As an intergenerational literacy organization, that strives to ensure students have a strong literacy foundation by first grade, and are reading proficiently by the end of third grade. It aligns itself with the ongoing effort in Boston and Revere public schools to ensure more elementary students are grade level proficient by the time they enter fourth grade. They place a very strong emphasis on early literacy, the basic foundation that children need to develop in kindergarten and first grade. And they do their work by engaging talented older adults (age 50+) - from the communities they serve - as volunteer literacy tutors and mentors.
== History ==
Generations Incorporated was founded in 1991 as Magic Me, which brought school children to local nursing homes to develop relationships with residents.
In the late 1990s, the organization shifted its focus to incorporate children's literacy and changed its name to Generations Incorporated, after its Executive Director, Mary Gunn, began to engage healthy, active older adults as tutors and mentors. By 2002, Generations Incorporated had 40 volunteers helping nearly 500 children in public schools and Boys and Girls Clubs in the Greater Boston area. The organization was then selected as one of five sites for the expansion of national AARP Experience Corps program (formerly called Experience Corps). It is now Greater Boston's host to AARP Experience Corps and one of the premiere intergenerational organizations in the USA.
