Looking Back, Looking Forward

Thank you for celebrating our 25th Anniversary with us!

In addition to our Funding Partners, Management Partners, Program Partners, and Board of Directors, we want to acknowledge the EngAGE team of Regional Program Directors, Program Directors, and administrative staff who work tirelessly to ensure that EngAGE delivers life-enhancing programming to residents of all ages in the communities we serve.

A MESSAGE FROM JOE ALTEPETER, CEO

In my first few months leading EngAGE, I have witnessed the incredible connectedness our staff is able to bring to their roles. Through high-quality arts, wellness, lifelong learning, and intergenerational programs, our aim to combat isolation and loneliness for older adults has proven a positive impact – and our staff makes it happen.

Whether it’s a storytelling session hosted by Upworthy, a health workshop facilitated by SCAN, a Passion Project with UCLA’s Dialogue Society, or a concert by The Angels Choir, I’m reminded how shared experiences transform lives of all ages.

At EngAGE, we’re not only creating programs—we’re creating spaces where folks feel seen, valued, and connected. As this special anniversary year ends, we look forward to continuing our mission for the communities we serve.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season,
