Neighborhood Canvassing Tool

Operationalizing Age Wave Readiness:
Student Assessment Tool
VCU’s Department of Gerontology launched a course for Age Wave planning in the Summer of 2014, ALHP 591. This service learning course educated students about community organizing, advocacy, and implementing a collaborative regional Plan for Age Wave Readiness. The course is co-taught with an academic and community lead and features guest lecturers in the Greater Richmond Age Wave Planning efforts from topics that included: housing, service delivery to transportation. Students successfully designed a neighborhood assessment tool (click below for tool), building on national and local best practices from the Livable Communities/Advocacy work group.
