Age-Friendly Institute

The Age-Friendly Institute, located in Waltham, Massachusetts, is dedicated to amplifying the voices of older adults through the power of the internet. Their core initiatives provide data insights to deliver age-friendly programs and services that meet the needs of older adults. The consumer website AgeFriendly.com promotes all things age-friendly, with user-generated peer ratings and reviews to create trust and authenticity.

For nearly two decades, the Certified Age Friendly Employer (CAFE) program has recognized organizations committed to being the best places to work for employees 50 and older. This program assists older job seekers in finding age-friendly employers. The institute also collaborates with partners worldwide to develop a shared language for age-friendly practices in various settings.

Prominent leaders like former Governor Charlie Baker and US Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh have praised the Age-Friendly Institute for their groundbreaking efforts in promoting age-friendly workplaces. The institute works with practitioners and partners globally to support age-friendly initiatives and inclusive workplaces.

Webinars and events hosted by the institute focus on recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce, with a special emphasis on professionals aged 50 and above. The institute's goal is to create a future where age is not a barrier but a valued asset in the professional landscape.
