Partnership for Age-Friendly Communities (PAFC) is a grassroots non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older adults through community-driven innovative solutions. Our initiatives focus on critical areas such as culture of aging, housing, health and wellness, mobility and access.
Two of our standout programs include technology assistance for older adults, helping them navigate their electronic devices to stay independent and connected with loved ones, and Intergenerational Conversations, a unique effort bringing youth and older adults together to bridge communication and understanding across multiple generations. Join us in making communities more accessible and a livable place for residents of all ages.
Watch our volunteers featured on REAL TALK with Micah Smith as they discuss what it means to be an AARP Age-Friendly Designated Community and how PAFC is shaping the future of aging in Colorado:

√ CULTURE OF AGING: Positively impact the attitudes, values and behaviors with regard to aging.
√ HEALTH AND WELLNESS: Promote optimal emotional, physical and spiritual health while aging.
