Active Aging Week: September 22 - 28, 2008

Active Aging Week professional resources

Welcome to the professional resources section. As a host site for Active Aging Week events, you can make a big difference in the lives of older adults. You play the critical role in connecting older adults with professionally designed programs.

As a host site, you have the flexibility to create event(s) that meet the needs of the older adults you already serve (or are trying to attract). Host site activities are:

  1. Free to the older adult
  2. Emphasize fun and education
  3. A single session, multiple activities on a single day or multiple days during the week
  4. Planned during the fall, when the weather is likely to be good and participants are home after summer travel
  5. A chance to build a sense of community and camaraderie, which are keys to motivating older adults to start and stay active
  6. Great ways to highlight your services and location
  7. Successful at generating participation
