Vibrant lives, vital roles: Observing Active Aging Week 2024

Community life benefits in countless ways from the contributions of older adults. Through volunteerism, mentorship or activism, individuals tutor children, support young leaders, build homes, protect pollinators, and raise funds for charities, for example. These men and women contribute to their community's health and well-being by staying active, productive and engaged as they age. They also promote their own healthier longevity. In fall 2024, Active Aging Week encouraged adults aged 50+ to participate in activities that promote leading active, engaged lives.
