Community involvement is important for everyone, no matter what age. Older adults' desire to remain active and give back to their communities is well-documented.

The task force identified three challenges that adults face as they age in relation to staying engaged within their communities. 

1. Meaningful opportunities to stay engaged
2. Barriers to employment
3. Lack of accessible information about engagement opportunities

To combat these challenges in our communities, the Commission on Aging will begin working on the strategies listed in Chapter 5 of the Aging Readiness Plan.

Once the commission is initiated, the group will determine which projects they will begin in 2012.
