Every May, the Administration for Community Living leads our
nation’s observance of Older Americans Month. We are pleased to announce
the 2019 theme, Connect,
Create, Contribute, which encourages older adults and
their communities to:
- Connect with friends,
family, and services that support participation.
- Create by engaging in
activities that promote learning, health, and personal enrichment.
- Contribute time, talent,
and life experience to benefit others.
Communities that encourage the contributions of older adults
are stronger! By engaging and supporting all community members, we
recognize that older adults play a key role in the vitality of our
neighborhoods, networks, and lives.
Older Americans Month 2019 will include suggestions,
resources, and material to celebrate older Americans and the communities of
which they are a vital part. Visit oam.acl.gov in early 2019 for ways to get
started, and starting now, promote the observance on social media using #OAM19 and #ConnectCreateContribute.
Everyone benefits when everyone can participate. We encourage
you to connect, create, and contribute for stronger and more diverse
communities this May, and throughout the year.
