The number of older adults representing diverse backgrounds is expected to increase by 217 percent over the next few decades. Given this increase, there is a significant need for programs to support and engage older adults from diverse backgrounds. This webinar will highlight programs that have been successful in promoting social engagement among a community of racially/ethnically diverse older adults and the LGBT community.
