Aging Ahead is committed to building upon an inclusive and welcoming environment so that all have the opportunity to age well. It’s important that we embody an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates diverse voices throughout our community. We have a few exciting updates that spotlight our commitment to inclusivity in the community and in the workplace!
Though our website, AgingAhead.org, is full of important information and resources, it was only available in English…until recently. Now our website is available in over 20 different languages through a Google widget, allowing all to access important. You’ll find the language widget at the bottom of our home page and on the right side of the page.
We have also added an LGBTQ survey to our website to help us learn more about and respond to the needs throughout this community.
Just as we are committed to growing with the community, Aging Ahead also invests in the growth of employees. This year we’ve launched a Lending Library in partnership with EyeSeeMe, a local African American bookstore that’s identified several Black authors and titles to share with Aging Ahead staff. The Lending Library empowers staff to educate themselves with the hope of elevating critical conversations about equity and inclusion Agency-wide.
As an organization, we believe that all belong, and all should have the right and opportunity to age well.
