Be Bold Claim Old - in Action

Carolina Meadows in Chapel Hill, North Carolina was the first organization to implement the Be Bold, Claim Old initiative. The project fit well with the organizations' desire to have an inclusive culture where every age and ability are welcomed. The initiative began with a facilitated dialogue amongst Board members and grew into projects engaging residents, staff and family members. The initiative included an interactive and intergenerational public art project titled "Celebrating the Gifts of Every Age" in which all were invited to celebrate their age and share what they enjoy about their age.
