Persons over age 65 constitute the fastest-growing segment of our population. However for most school systems, this varied group of senior citizens is either difficult to reach or ignored entirely. This session will detail why schools should invest in outreach to their elder community and the many ways to do so.
Whether you're preparing for a bond measure or simply looking to build long-term community trust, this session will offer practical strategies to engage senior citizens as informed allies. Learn how consistent, respectful outreach can turn skepticism into support, and walk away with communication ideas that help strengthen intergenerational connections in your district.
This virtual opportunity is open to non-members, so we encourage you to invite your teammates, superintendent, or anyone in your district who plays a role in building community trust and engagement.
