Abstract: A Mathematica team led by Emily Dwoyer, Kathy Sonnenfeld, and Susan Sprachman provided the data collection services for this study of the Experience Corps (EC) initiative, a program that brings older adults ages 55 and up into public elementary schools to tutor and mentor children who are at risk of academic failure. EC members also help teachers in the classroom and lead after-school enrichment activities.
