| Abstrakt: | This paper presents a panel study on the outcomes of a national, volunteer-driven demonstration project. The Legacy Corps for Health and Independent Living program expanded to include multigenerational approaches as one aspect of attracting and involving baby Bbomers into voluntary activities supporting critical community needs. Legacy Corps includes a panel study tracking more than 1,500 participants. Outcome measures compare multigenerational teams versus single volunteers over the age of 50 and assess changes in community attachment and ongoing civic engagement. Analysis indicates improved attachment and increased community contribution postproject. Implications focus on how evidence-based demonstrations with long-term follow-up can inform legislation.
