An organization that receives a grant or enters into a contract under subsection (a) may use funds made available through the grant or contract for activities such as-
(1) linking youth groups and older American organizations in volunteer activities;
(2) involving older volunteers in programs and activities different from programs and activities supported in the community; and
(3) testing whether older American volunteer programs may contribute to new objectives or certain national priorities.
