Engagement

The Vision

Ageism is a thing of the past. Older adults feel welcome and valued, and participate fully in the life of the community. They remain active in their neighborhoods, communities and beyond, with their roles ranging from neighborhood sage to problem-solvers and social innovators. They avail themselves of an array of social, educational and employment opportunities, according to their needs and preferences.

Issue Areas

Creating Community for a Lifetime addressed three issue areas in developing recommendations for achieving the vision of a community that promotes social and civic engagement:

• Connections and Contributions
• Lifelong Learning
• Employment
