On Sunday, November 25, 2012, WCBS Radio featured a story on NYAM’s Age-friendly College Link, the nation’s first searchable online database that empowers older adults to browse, search, compare, and connect with educational opportunities at dozens of local colleges and universities.
Age-friendly College Link grew out of consultations with hundreds of older adults throughout New York City who said they wanted to have more options for lifelong learning, but found it difficult to know exactly what was available. The database was also born out of a need for adults to train for second or third careers, and/or obtain new skills to improve their employability; to learn practical life skills, including computer literacy and how to navigate new virtual worlds to stay connected; to broaden intellectual horizons through non-credit or for-credit courses; and to expand social networks and participate in intergenerational discussions.
