In 1999, Jefferson Junior High School was the host of the pilot Intergenerational Internet program.
Intergenerational Internet is a five-week program for senior citizens and middle school youth.
The program provides hands-on education connecting the generations and the Internet. The youth serve as mentors to teach senior citizens basic Internet skills. The Intergenerational Internet project can also serve as a service learning opportunity for middle school students. Provide youth with an opportunity to serve their community and share their Internet skills as well as build communication skills with senior citizens. Create an intergenerational experience for middle school students and senior citizens, which can lead to understanding between the two generations.
