Creating an accessible and inclusive city for people of all ages and abilities
Age-Friendly Louisville is committed to making Louisville a place where people of all ages can be engaged and active members of the community. We seek to ensure that our built, social, health, and economic environments support individuals in leading thriving lives from stroller to walker.
We, along with the other Age-Friendly Cities across the world, are charged with developing a customized action plan that will drive the implementation of age-friendly practices across the eight age-friendly domains.
We welcome anyone who is interested in being part of this community-driven initiative to connect with us emailing to agefriendlylouisville@gmail.com and join a Workgroup!
