OUR FIRST 10 YEARS
A grassroots movement of boldly interdisciplinary professionals and interested individuals empowering each other to shape the way we experience the later stages of life. Founded in 2009 by an architect and social worker, we are a largely volunteer-driven organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area. In our first 10 years we have produced more than 90 monthly learning forums and piloted an innovative, participatory workshop ‘Aging 360 ®’ that empowers people to live better in their homes as they age. In June 2019 we celebrated with a daylong forum, an agein, modeled after the teach-ins of the 60s.
RIGHT NOW
We’re glad you are a part of our learning community of professionals and individuals building resources, making connections and reshaping our approach toward aging.
