Each year since 1963, May has been a month to appreciate and celebrate the vitality and aspirations of older adults and their contributions to our communities. The theme for 2013 is “Unleash the Power,” signifying that older Americans are productive, active, and influential members of society.
To help organizations prepare for this year’s celebration, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) has updated its Older Americans Month website for 2013 with resources to help spread the word about Older Americans Month and plan an event for your community. The website includes information on:
- “Unleash the Power” Challenge: A contest in which organizations can nominate individuals who have used their talents and expertise to make a positive impact in their communities.
- Activity Ideas: Get inspirations and ideas on how you can celebrate Older Americans Month locally by unleashing the power of age through community and creativity.
- Social Media Gallery: Get content you can use to promote Older Americans Month to your social media networks.
- Download Center: Access a collection of images for your organization’s website, and text for newsletters.
