Join us at Longevity U!


Longevity U is a Longevity Project initiative that works with groups of Richmond-area participants to develop personal health and wellness action plans. These evidence-based courses are designed to contribute to participants’ emotional and physical health as well as social connectedness. Our financial health module also increases knowledge and skills, while showing participants the connection between social networks and financial health.

Course topics include:
  • Ageism and Elderhood
  • How to Live to be 100
  • Social Connectedness and Wellbeing
  • Financial Health for Elders
  • Person-Centered Approaches
  • Trauma-Informed Approaches

By the numbers:
  • 100% of participants who responded to a post-evaluation survey strongly agreed that their skills and knowledge improved. 
  • Participants who responded to pre- and post-evaluation surveys improved significantly in being inclined to seek out/socialize with other older adults.
  • 93% of respondents successfully strengthened awareness, knowledge, and skills about financial health, safety/exploitation, benefits, and financial health/connectedness. 
  • 100% of participants identify a health and wellness practice to incorporate into their daily lives.
