Get connected with your local Aging Forward Affiliate

Affiliates of the Aging Forward Alliance offer a variety of programs including educational classes, social activities, volunteer opportunities, and services such as transportation, grocery shopping, friendly visitors, and other support for older adults.

Programs offered by the Aging Forward Alliance are designed for older adults, typically aged 60 and older. However, some affiliates may have specific age requirements or offer programs for younger adults as well.

Importantly, no affiliate discriminates on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status in any of its activities or operations.

There are several distinguishing characteristics of the Aging Forward Alliance. Our approach to engaging older adults focuses on empowerment and community involvement with programs tailored to unique interests of community members. Additionally, we advance a holistic approach, addressing not just physical health but also emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.

Participants enjoy numerous benefits, including enhanced social engagement, personal enrichment from lifelong learning, access to health and wellness activities, and satisfaction in volunteering. Each provides a sense of purpose and meaning as well as fosters community connections.

Support services for participants, including transportation, friendly visits, or grocery delivery are offered at no cost to older adults. While other programs may have a small cost, such as a fee for lifelong learning classes or a fee for materials for minor repairs, most offer scholarships or discounts to alleviate any financial hardship.
