Strengthen Communities

Coming of Age can help you harness the power of one of your community's most valuable resources: people age 50+. Through a process of developing ideas, soliciting community involvement, piloting, refining, and evaluating programs, we've identified critical factors that lead to program success and satisfaction for communities, nonprofits, and older adults. 

 

We can help you use best practices and success factors to...

  • Create and build your community's 50+ civic engagement partnership.
  • Determine which Coming of Age programs and tools are best suited to your community.
  • Provide training for your nonprofits in proven strategies for engaging people 50+
