Our Goals and Campus Initiatives

Mission Statement

The UCLA Age-Friendly Initiative is uniquely positioned to be an educational resource and web portal that can guide individuals to grow older with meaning and purpose and assist the community in recognizing the value of all age groups. ​​

UCLA has the opportunity to expand intergenerational collaboration, decrease social isolation, and expand volunteer and civic engagement opportunities.

This initiative will highlight UCLA's current and future practices related to functions in life-long learning, research, and teaching to promote and enhance an age-friendly university and society.

Vision Statement

UCLA strives to build a comprehensive multi-disciplinary plan for aging activities related to education, fostering social support, and enhancing campus-based resources to help older adults remain active and engaged.
