Description

Age-friendly community advocacy is moving toward a lifespan perspective, yet there are few examples of how to effectively engage residents of other ages and abilities as livability advocates. This session reports on a five-day training program for older adults and persons with disabilities, designed to produce a corps of effective advocates for lifelong/livable communities. A training overview with results from trainees in six communities will be shared.
