The City of Boulder is seeking input from adults 60 and over and family caregivers at Community Conversations in June to discuss what works well for older adults and what service and resource gaps need to be addressed. Conversations will be held in person and online and will be available in English or Spanish.

Light refreshments will be provided at the in-person events. Registration is encouraged but not required. Your RSVP helps us ensure adequate space and refreshments for all attendees. Community members can RSVP online at the links provided above or by calling Older Adult Services at 303-441-3148.
The city is partnering with Boulder County Area Agency on Aging (BCAAA) to host a series of Community Conversations in Boulder as a way for older adults and family caregivers to inform both city and county planning processes and help address the opportunities and challenges of our community’s growing older adult population. Between 2023 and 2050, Boulder County is projected to see a 22% increase in adults ages 60–79 and a 202% increase in adults 80 and older.
Feedback collected as part of these Community Conversations will be used to help shape the city’s Age-Inclusive Community Strategic Plan. The plan is an opportunity to acknowledge the contributions made by older adults in our community including participation in the workforce, volunteerism, caregiving, intergenerational exchange and their contributions to the local economy as consumers and investors. It will also provide a look at the challenges for successful aging in community including living on a fixed-income, housing, transportation, ageism, healthcare and long-term needs.
