Why We Need More Mixing Between Generations

Guest: Donna Butts, Executive Director, Generations United Starting this fall, a nonprofit called Generations United will be matching up college students with older citizens who have a spare room in their house. The students will get cheap – or even free – rent, depending on how much they want to help out around the house. The program is meant to tackle two problems at once – the social isolation many seniors experience and the mounting debt students struggle with.
