With the impending ‘‘age boom,’’ institutions of higher education need to begin to prepare graduates in all disciplines to work in a multigenerational workforce. Younger graduates, as well as older workers returning to the classroom for retraining, need to know how to manage conýict in an age-diverse work environment. Project ALIGN (the Alabama Intergenerational Network for Service-Learning) provides opportunities for students in business and the social sciences to work with older workers in a community-based training program. Data from a statewide survey of attitudes about workers at both ends of the career life cycle provided contextual information for this pilot project. Pre- and posttests of student attitudes provided data for project evaluation. Student attitudes were compared with results of the statewide survey and attitudes of older workers before participating in the project. Discussion in this article includes pedagogical strategies for building collegial relationships across disciplinary boundaries, changing attitudes through intergenerational shared activity, and meeting community needs through service-learning.
