Join the Tri-State Learning Collaborative on Aging as we bring together representatives working with older adults through parks and recreation organizations in Maine, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire. How can partnerships and programming help to proactively meet the needs of older adults in our communities? What opportunities do we have in parks and recreation to create solutions to barriers to engagement that older adults face? After bringing together parks and recreation representatives earlier this year, the TSLCA is continuing the conversation and creating space for programs to share information across borders, build stronger relationships and develop innovative ideas together to make real positive change for older adults. All are welcomed and encouraged to participate in this active conversation, even if you didn’t make it to the first one. Come ready to share ideas and ask questions.
