Current company

Age-Friendly Greater Pittsburgh

Civic and Social Organizations · 6 employees · Founded 2015 · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

Our population is growing older—and fast. Every day across the country, Baby Boomers turn 65. Here in Southwestern Pennsylvania, between 20••••30, we will experience a 40% increase in the number of people ages 65+. Between 20••••45, we\'ll experience a 75% increase in people ages 85+. At Age-Friendly Greater Pittsburgh, we see this new demographic reality as an opportunity. It means our region has a new, growing resource—people with career expertise, lived experience, buying power and diverse skills and interests. And it means it’s time for us to take action. A region that’s more accessible and welcoming is one that’s better for older people—and better for everyone.
