About
Evolve: Re-igniting self & community - This eight-month leadership development course helps older people connect their passions and talents with needs in their communities. The class helps them hone their skills and build a support system that helps them achieve their goals. Van has offered the Evolve program (formerly named Advocacy Leadership for Vital Aging) since 2003, and 278 participants have completed the course. Each participant has designed and implemented a project that has had a positive impact in the lives of children, older adults, and immigrant populations in the areas of health, education, nutrition, the arts and improved use of community services. The Evolve program provides personal growth, skill development, and opportunities to contribute for the individuals who participate in the program. Communities benefit from the outcomes produced by the Evolve projects. In the long run, communities benefit from a growing cadre of older adults.
