for new Communities for All Ages Site(s)
These training and consulting services are generally contracted by funders interested in supporting local communities to develop strategies that address critical issues from a multi-generational perspective and enhance the well being of all age groups. Over a 6-8 month period, the Communities for All Ages (CFAA) National Office will support communities selected by funders to form a cross sector, multi-generational team, map local resources, identify common challenges across generations and develop a workable plan of action on a critical issue. The selected sites and their funders will join the Communities for All Ages National Network.
