Richmond Aging and Engaging – Aging and Engaging

Richmond Aging and Engaging supports the health, wellness, and quality of life of older adults aging-in-place in low-income housing. Through intergenerational art, leisure and recreational programming we ensure access to meaningful activities that foster a sense of purpose, build social connections, and empower older adults to live their best life.

“This is the only fun we have all day.”

“Without you guys, we don’t have nothing to really do. We don’t – we just sit here. I love it when ya’ll come – [I look] forward to getting up to come do some activities, something fun with the rest of the residents.”

“I volunteered so I could get out of my comfort zone and make connections outside of my college campus. It has been such a wonderful experience and its greatly impacted me!”
