Age Wave Planning

The Greater Richmond Age Wave Planning effort is a coalition of public and private organizations, businesses, and citizens working together to ensure that the region is Age Wave Prepared. 

The Greater Richmond Age Wave Plan provides a map of components that will achieve age wave readiness for the region and outlines the goals, indicators, objectives and strategies to achieve those goals. 

Ultimately the plan will provide a tool for strategic planning, coordinating efforts, achieving economies of scale and measuring progress.  It can be used by public and private agencies, for profit and not-for-profit organizations, funders, local governments, universities, coalitions, associations, businesses and partnerships.

The Greater Richmond Age Wave Planning effort is led by the Age Wave Planning Leadership Council, supported by four category specific Work Groups and staffed through a joint venture of United Way and Senior Connections, Capital Area Agency on Aging.
