This is the fifth in a series of six videos about the process of making a community more "age-friendly" by joining the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities.
This video (or module) discusses the components of an age-friendly action plan, as well as how to use an action plan to begin age-friendly activities in a community.
An action plan lays out the goals, action items and strategies that a community will use to address the needs identified during the assessment phase of the age-friendly process. The plan, a three-year roadmap for future age-friendly work, is comprised of the following key elements:
- an executive summary
- a letter of support from the community's elected leadership
- a community profile
- mission, vision and values statements
- a summary of the community assessment results
- a list of age-friendly team members
- the goals
- action items
- timelines
An age-friendly action plan is an important tool in creating an age-friendly workplan and it can become a communications tool for celebrating incremental age-friendly successes.
