Services
Aging Dynamics brings 35 years of interdisciplinary experience to your project. After clarifying your needs, we design a strategy unique to your objectives, capacity, stakeholders, and timeline. We use a combination of the services below to help you accomplish your community impact goals.
Strategic Planning
Strategic plans act as a road map to address the challenges and opportunities you’ve identified in your work. The Aging Dynamics team can help you explore the root causes for some of these problems and see the blindspots that those within your organization may miss. Create a strategic plan that is both actionable and adaptable for not just your organization, but all key stakeholders including community members.

Collaboratives & Coalitions
The problems your constituents and community members are experiencing are systemic. Your response should be, too. Aging Dynamics helps you identify and work with aligned collaborators in a way that benefits everyone. We can help you form an informal coalition, support sustained collaboration, or develop a formal collaborative.

Facilitation
Effective facilitation begins with clearly defined goals. We sit down with you to figure out what it is you hope to achieve, then design a meeting that works towards those ends. An outside facilitator can more easily navigate tricky conversations, complex community issues, large groups, and multi-sector gatherings where everyone has their unique needs. We are trained in facilitation best practices and act from a place of greater neutrality and trust. We also make it fun and engaging!

Community Engagement
Community engagement is not a box to check. It’s a significant determinant of how successful you will be in creating the community change you seek. We carefully craft and help you execute an inclusive and accessible community engagement strategy to ensure the full diversity of your community and key stakeholders are represented. We help you work WITH the community rather than FOR the community.
