Volume 1, Number 1 - Intergenerational Community as Intervention (ICI)
This paper introduces the Intergenerational Community as Intervention (ICI) concept which represents a new approach to addressing complex social problems that are often resistant to conventional service systems. The ten core principles underlying the Hope Meadows model were distilled and defined, and this fundamental strategy, necessary to shift the focus of problem solving from intervention in community to community as intervention, was presented.
Volume 1, Number 2 - Completing the circle of care: Alternative housing at Hope Meadows
This paper examines the case for providing a senior housing alternative at Hope Meadows (a Hope House) so that older adults will be able to age in community, continuing to sustain and be sustained by meaningful intergenerational relationships until the end of life, keeping the circle of care unbroken.
Volume 1, Number 3 - Restoring hope: Integrating living and learning communities for vulnerable youth
In this paper the philosophical and core principles of the Hope Meadows model are applied to an alternative educational setting—a GHC school. It is suggested that by linking GHCs with GHC schools, we can begin to address, in a comprehensive way, the unique needs of vulnerable youth.
Volume 2, Number 1 - Designing Generations of Hope Communities: Some lessons from Hope Meadows
This paper reviews some of the key design features and experiences that have contributed to the evolution of the Hope Meadows community over its 14-year history, and begins to assemble a general site design framework on an abstract level.
Volume 2, Number 2 - Generations of Hope Communities
In this paper we discuss philosophical principles that ground Generations of Hope Communities (GHCs), critical insights which have emerged regarding GHCs, and the distinctive strategy used in GHCs known as Intergenerational Community as Intervention (ICI).
