Older Americans Month 2021 - "Communities of Strength"

Older adults are a vital part of our society. Since 1963, communities across the country have shown their gratitude by celebrating Older Americans Month each May. The theme of the 2021 celebration is "Communities of Strength," with special emphasis on the power of connection and engagement in building strong communities.

Older Americans Month from Washoe County Senior Services

Due to the pandemic, 2021 Older Americans Month activities in Washoe County will be mostly virtual via Zoom and YouTube. This is, however, an improvement from last year when everything was just canceled.

Older Americans Month 2021 begins on May 1, 2021, with a message from Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto on YouTube. Additional events will occur throughout the month, though not every day. Get a complete list and links to the presentations from "Older Americans Month" on the Washoe County Senior Services website.
