Age Friendly Evanston! is an interdisciplinary approach to community development that promotes aging in the community so older adults may remain mobile, volunteer, continue working and to contribute to their families and neighborhoods. This initiative is resident-led. The mayor appointed nine residents to serve on the taskforce to develop an action plan to ensure Evanston is age friendly. They are listening to residents, agencies and organizations in the community through surveys, meetings, focus groups and fundamental conversations. They are communicating through websites, social media outlets and newsletters. The action plan is based on the priorities that surface through the data collected.
