Silver Century Foundation

Silver Century Foundation The Silver Century Foundation promotes a positive view of aging for everyone.

Our Vision
The Foundation envisions a society where:

• People no longer fear their own aging.

• Formal education about aging abounds, and people are educated not just for the tasks of early adulthood but for the middle and later years as well.

• Viable social roles for older adults exist.

• Aging adults and the work they undertake are valued.

• Different age groups are not in conflict but

are interdependent.

• Aging is seen as the anticipated fulfillment of life, not as its inevitable decline.

• Old age is respected and honored.
