Our Vision for an Age-Positive Oregon

 At the Ageless Awards, we came together to shape a shared vision for an Age-Positive Oregon — and the graphic below is what we created. It reflects what it takes to build a state where aging is valued, contributions are recognized, and every generation belongs. Collaboration like this is how real change happens.

Let’s keep going. Let’s challenge assumptions, celebrate older adults, and create a future where age is a strength. Learn more about how we are empowering change through education here.

Why AGE+?

People are living longer, which calls for new intergenerational strategies to value and care for older adults. Community networks are needed to fill in housing, mobility and caregiving gaps, especially for older adults who are isolated, low-income and underserved.

AGE+ empowers communities through stimulating partnerships, training and sponsoring innovative programs that address the challenges and opportunities facing aging in America.
