Guidelines & Standards for Intergenerational Practice

As the intergenerational field continues to take form and grow, we must pay more attention to how professionals who work in this field are trained. In the “Standards of Intergenerational Practice” article presented by Liz Larkin (University of South Florida) and Vicki Rosebrook (University of Findlay) help to define what “competency” means for those who engage in intergenerational work. They share a set of standards which, though in draft form, is an invaluable document in helping to define and promote exemplary practice in this field.
