Voices on Aging

Colorado Center for Aging introduced this video project in February of 2021. It was so successful that it is now a centerpiece of our educational activities. These videos will inform, awaken, unite, educate, excite, and engage.

Interested in being a part of our Voices on Aging? We want to hear from people all over the state about their concerns and successes on aging in their local community. Your story can be a short video or a 600-word essay with your photo.
