The Council on Social Work Education's (CSWE) Strengthening Aging and Gerontology Education for Social Work (SAGE-SW) project, funded by the John A. Hartford Foundation partnered with the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (NCPSSM) to develop an Intergenerational Policy and Advocacy Project (IAP). This curriculum pilot project, based on a community organization model, was conducted with 13 baccalaureate social work (BSW) and master's social work (MSW) programs across the country and 122 students. The project was one method to pursue CSWE SAGE-SW's efforts to infuse aging content into social work foundation curricula, to support intergenerational teaching, to strengthen social work advocacy skills, and to provide social work students with positive experiences working with older adults. Pilot sites were asked to carry out the project as part of an existing course foundation or field practicum course. Project activities included collaboration with a variety of community agencies, holding issues or "town hall" forums in order to educate community members about critical policy issues affecting older adults; making contacts and establishing relationships with local, state and/or federal legislators; and conducting assessments of the service needs of older adults in the students' communities. Questionnaires, feedback, pre-post evaluations as well as brief accounts of each project are presented. Participants considered the IAP to be a successful project in terms of the objectives of increasing awareness and competency among social work students of aging issues and of promoting intergenerational linkages between older people and social work students.
社会工作教育委员会（CSWE）的“加强社会工作老龄化与老年学教育”（SAGE-SW）项目由约翰·A·哈特福德基金会资助，与全国社会保障与医疗保险保护委员会（NCPSSM）合作，开发了一个代际政策与倡导项目（IAP）。这个课程试点项目基于社区组织模式，在美国13个社会工作学士学位（BSW）和硕士学位（MSW）项目以及122名学生中开展。该项目是CSWE SAGE-SW为将老龄化内容融入社会工作基础课程、支持代际教学、增强社会工作倡导技能以及为社会工作专业学生提供与老年人合作的积极体验所做努力的一种方式。试点学校被要求将该项目作为现有课程基础或实习课程的一部分来实施。项目活动包括与各种社区机构合作，举办问题或“市政厅”论坛，以便让社区成员了解影响老年人的关键政策问题；与地方、州和/或联邦立法者建立联系；以及评估学生所在社区老年人的服务需求。文中呈现了调查问卷、反馈、前后评估以及每个项目的简要情况。参与者认为，就提高社会工作专业学生对老龄化问题的认识和能力以及促进老年人与社会工作专业学生之间的代际联系这两个目标而言，IAP是一个成功的项目。
