The Intergeneration Make a Difference Project (MADP) is designed to develop leadership skills in geriatric nursing for seniors in a baccalaureate nursing program. This service-learning project with octogenarians and older individuals is based on theoretical constructs of caring. Stories and journaling are of great importance in the project. Expected outcomes are cognitive, affective, personal, and interpersonal. Students are expected to engage in critical/reflective thinking and develop leadership skills, heightened respect for the elderly, and interest in lifelong learning and a service orientation to society. Empowered to influence their clients, students receive the reciprocal benefits of an intergenerational relationship that, it is hoped, will affect how they care for the elderly in the future.
代际影响项目（MADP）旨在为本科护理专业的学生培养老年护理方面的领导技能。这个针对八旬及以上老人的服务学习项目基于关怀的理论构建。故事和日志在该项目中非常重要。预期成果包括认知、情感、个人和人际方面的。期望学生进行批判性/反思性思考，培养领导技能，增强对老年人的尊重，激发对终身学习的兴趣以及培养社会服务意识。学生在有能力影响其服务对象的同时，也能从代际关系中获得互惠的益处，希望这种关系能影响他们未来照顾老年人的方式。
