Generations Together and the University of Pittsburgh's School of Social Work are pleased to announce the establishment of the Continuing Education Certificate for Intergenerational Specialists. The certificate is designed to enhance competence for professionals working in intergenerational programs or related efforts. It will be acknowledged by human service systems and by other universities and represents 100 contact hours in intergenerational experiences that may be completed over a three-year period. Participation includes attendance at two Intergenerational Training Institutes held in Pittsburgh.

Recommended activities include providing direct service as a volunteer in an intergenerational program or being mentored by an intergenerational professional during the first year and mentoring a new certificate program participant during the second year.

Optional activities can include giving a presentation or workshop at an intergenerational conference; attending an intergenerational conference or workshop; or conducting an intergenerational field project such as serving on the board of an intergenerational program, planning a conference, or setting up a non-job-related intergenerational program.
