Member Partnership in Action
An example of our partnerships and the benefit to all involved: In partnership with DOROT in New York City, specially trained ALH volunteers also provide tech coaching for late adopters with material and programming tailored to older adults to bridge the digital divide. With this strong partnership in place, in part funded by the Consumer Technology Association Foundation, ALH is able to connect older members to additional value-add partners like Vivo to reverse age-related muscle loss and Silvernest to address affordable housing needs and social connection, help around home, and disposable income needs of older adults. Piloting these national partnerships sets up success more broadly as lessons learned are documented and utilized to fine-tune messaging and operationalization across ALH’s locations in Colorado and to other Villages nation-wide, for specific partnerships, as well as to template additional value-add, vetted partner opportunities that increase older members’ ability to age safely at home and improve upon social determinants of health. Support for this work has an exponential return on investment because of ALH’s long partnership with VtVN and their combined ability to share successes, challenges, and strategies among more than 350 Villages throughout the country, while setting up opportunities for collective action and aggregate impact data in the future.
