Community Engagement

Community Engagement
Body

Community involvement is important for everyone, no matter what age. Older adults' desire to remain active and give back to their communities is well-documented.

The Aging Readiness Plan identified three challenges that adults face as they age in relation to staying engaged within their communities. 

  1. Meaningful opportunities to stay engaged
  2. Barriers to employment
  3. Lack of accessible information about engagement opportunities
