Our Action Plan guides our work. It is organized into three sections: people, community and culture. Change is needed for individuals—our day-to-day experiences—and it’s needed in community, or in how we relate to one another. In a bigger, broader way, change is needed within institutions and society.
How can we make the Pittsburgh region a place of intergenerational connection, and a better place to live as we age? We start by orienting ourselves around these belief statements, below. To learn about specific programs, check out Our Work.
