Each May, the Administration for Community Living leads the celebration of Older Americans Month (OAM). This year’s theme recognizes the important role older adults play in fostering the connection and engagement that build strong, resilient communities.
In our California neighborhoods, older adults are emeriti, retirees, mentors, and advocates. They offer their time and experience to the benefit of our communities. This year, the ERRC will celebrate OAM by encouraging community members to share their experiences.
The ERRC is partnering with our sister campuses; UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Riverside and the University of Southern California for this engaging opportunity to celebrate those who are over 50 and to join in conversation and panel discussions to dispel ageism, become more inclusive and enlighten all.
As a community network of retiree centers, we would like to highlight our dedication to intergenerational programming and facilitate conversations on aging-related topics, raising awareness of older adult services and needs, including digital connectivity, caregiving issues, and social isolation.
The program will promote ways of engaging with older adults and networking with our retired colleagues, students and broader community.
