OUR MISSION

Established in 2021, The Age Collective (TAC) is a community-driven initiative working to reimagine how we think, talk about, and experience aging. Through storytelling, art, and conversation, we bring people of all ages together to challenge ageism and celebrate the depth, complexity, and the significance of growing older.

Community first.

We believe in the power of connection. Our work is grounded in building inclusive, intergenerational communities where everyone feels seen, valued, and heard. We bring younger and older adults into the conversation, because aging shapes all our lives - now and in the future.

Aging is living.

We embrace the full, nuanced reality of aging, with all its joys, struggles, growth, and complexity. This includes challenging the injustices, barriers, and inequities that shape how people age.

Conversation creates change.

We believe change starts with honest dialogue. Through storytelling, art, and shared reflection, we challenge ageist thinking and create space for empathy, connection, and understanding.
