engAGE in Community Volunteer Opportunities

An age-friendly community is one that promotes civic and social engagement, addresses basic needs such as food and shelter, optimizes physical and mental well being, and maximizes independence for people of all abilities and health status.

MAPPS-Mapping Your Community for Age-Friendliness-

Communites that have particapted in the MAPPING process will be elgible for small grant funding to help their community become more age- freindly.
