Workshop: Designing for All Ages

Join us on October 16 and 17 for the free, virtual 2024 AARP Livable Communities Workshop. Experts from AARP and beyond will share how local leaders and community advocates can design for people of all ages in urban, suburban and rural communities. Attend both days or just one of the two. A single registration provides access to whatever your schedule allows.

Age-Friendly Projects and Programs

Hundreds of towns, cities and counties throughout the nation have joined the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities or received a "quick-action" AARP Community Challenge grant. Use the AARP Livable Map to learn where and how AARP is helping communities become more livable and age-friendly so people of all ages can thrive.
