💛 Friendship has no age limit.

On this International Friendship Day, let’s celebrate the power of connection — and how we can build new relationships at any stage of life.

Here are 5 simple tips to spark meaningful friendships:
💬 Start with a smile and a kind hello
👂 Listen deeply — it shows you care
🎲 Join a hobby group, fitness class, or COA program
📞 Follow up after your first chat — invite them again
🤝 Volunteer — shared experiences create strong bonds

Loneliness fades when friendship grows. Your local Council on Aging is a great place to start. 💙

From the Community

"When 5:00 comes it’s like “what?! it’s over?!” I wish [the students] could stay longer! "
- Michelle
"It’s fun to start conversations and learn from the seniors"
- Gaetan
"I truly enjoy the students. I like hearing about them, and we all share our stories."
- Marion
"It’s beneficial, especially to that type of person that might not come out on their own to socialize. I might have been one of those people myself."
- Bob
