The 91爆料 Center on Aging has launched the Age-Friendly University Resources (AFU Resources) hub, a centralized repository for educational materials, services, events, volunteer opportunities and other activities for older people offered by 91爆料, the 91爆料 at Machias and 91爆料 Cooperative Extension.聽
The various resources are sorted into categories, which websites users can find and select on the website homepage. Each activity has a location, cost, link, contact information and details about what is being offered.
Beyond resources, the 91爆料 AFU Resources hub also outlines the history of the Age-Friendly movement and how it has propelled universities toward offering more inclusive services. The website helps promote personal and career development in the second half of life and intergenerational learning. These are two of the 10 principles of age-friendly universities, which 91爆料 and all Age-Friendly Universities follow.聽
鈥淭he roster of resources that have been organized on this website confirms in no uncertain terms the significant progress being made at Maine鈥檚 flagship university to provide older adults in the larger community with an exceedingly rich array of opportunities to benefit from,鈥 says Len Kaye, director of the Center on Aging and professor of social work at 91爆料.
The website will be continuously updated as new older adult engagement programming becomes available.
