Seniors who become EngAGED are more likely to stay healthy and happy. Linda P. Fried, M.D., Director of the Center on Aging and Health at Johns Hopkins says “Giving back to your community can slow the aging process in ways that lead to a higher quality of life in older adults.”


Service Agencies, Organizations, and Non-Profits face serious budget cuts just when needs are increasing. Well-trained volunteers can reduce staffing needs and have a powerful economic benefit on service programming.


Community ties, an important element of healthy, integrated and secure communities, are developed and strengthened through EngAGED. Volunteering fosters trust, co-operation and cohesion in which members watch out for and support each other.
Our professional trainers will come to your community to offer in-depth training and mentoring. The training equips your organization to work in partnership with other agencies to create a dynamic, innovative and optimistic civic engagement program.

Older adults have the skills and ambition to make profound and lasting changes in their communities. We need new approaches to capture their experience and channel it into volunteerism and useful employment. Organizations can help retirees realize their ambitions to make profound lasting change by aiming high themselves.

Studies show that aging “baby boomers” who think they can have real impact on their community are nearly 50% more likely to become involved in service opportunities than those who feel their impact will be small, according to the “New Face of Work.”
