How Aging Forward Is Redefining Aging Through Community, with Sarah Cheney

What does it take to build communities where older adults can continue learning, connecting, and thriving? In this week's episode, AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan sits down with Sarah Cheney, Executive Director of Aging Forward, to explore how the organization is empowering older adults through lifelong learning, volunteer services, and neighbor-to-neighbor support.

Sarah shares the personal experiences that shaped her passion for aging services and explains how Aging Forward—formerly Shepherd Centers—has spent the past 50 years helping older adults remain engaged, independent, and connected in their communities. 

Together, Susan and Sarah discuss the power of purpose, the importance of social connection, and why community-based collaboration is essential to changing the narrative around aging.
