Sedona, Arizona

Sedona is a rural town in North Central Arizona, with a population of about 12,000 people. We are blessed with beautiful natural surroundings and a community richly invested in the arts. Residents have many opportunities for art and creative cultural expression. There is a low crime rate, low unemployment and over 90% of our residents live above the poverty line. Sedona is considered a great place to retire, but there are a noticeable lack of resources for working families and children. Our goal in creating a Communities for All Ages coalition is to make Sedona a great place to live for residents of all ages.

Our Communities for All Ages coalition is in an early phase of development. We have been building our team, assessing community strengths and concerns and now are beginning to create strategies for community change. Our goal is to create a structure that helps foster collaboration and partnership among the many organizations and residents in Sedona. We have established community forums with residents from many different generations and now are in the process of providing feedback to the community through town hall style meetings, developing long term goals and an action plan for the next phase of our community change process.
