I am interested in what I can do to make my community more age-friendly
Lifelong Maine
The term Age-Friendly refers to intentional community efforts to make Maine’s cities and towns more responsive to longer, healthier lives and inclusive of people living with chronic illness or disability. Lifelong Maine’s shared mission is for communities where everyone can lead active, healthy, and engaged lives throughout their lifetime. Across Maine, grassroots, age-friendly initiatives, formal members of the AARP Network and others following a similar path, are leveraging local assets to build community capacity addressing challenges such as accessible spaces, access to technology, food security, home repair, transportation, and social connections. Volunteers and local organizations work closely with municipal government to make improvements that fit with the preferences and values of residents. The Lifelong Maine website is the hub of this activity in the state of Maine where you can learn how to get involved.
