Who we Are

SSAFE is a growing organization founded by residents of senior living communities. Communities join as members and are recognized as SSAFE Chapters.  Residents from chapters can join as individual members. SSAFE members receive email invitations to participate in online gatherings and workshops designed to exchange information, provide guidance, share best practices, document successful projects, and inspire collective action. Through these collaborations, members amplify their impact, creating a dynamic community of shared learning and innovation. Together, they harness the unique resources of elders—including time, life experience, financial stability, and organizational skills—to address the urgent challenge of climate change and promote a sustainable planet for future generations.
