Now in its 24th year, Active Aging Week is an international campaign dedicated to changing society’s perceptions of aging by celebrating the abilities, achievements, and possibilities of older adults. In 2025, more than 5,000 organizations across 14 countries hosted over 20,000 events, engaging more than one million participants and demonstrating the growing global momentum behind active aging.

Through its extensive network of member organizations, LeadingAge will help inspire participation and encourage communities nationwide to recognize the many ways older adults continue to contribute, lead, and thrive.

“Active Aging Week is more than a celebration—it’s a global movement that challenges outdated perceptions of aging and highlights the important contributions older adults make every day,” said Colin Milner, CEO and Founder of ICAA. “We’re grateful for LeadingAge’s continued support in helping expand the reach of Active Aging Week and inspiring more organizations to create opportunities for older adults to live active, engaged, and purposeful lives.”

“We’re proud to stand with ICAA in expanding the possibilities for aging once again,” said Katie Smith Sloan, president and CEO of LeadingAge. “The week reflects our shared commitment to promoting wellbeing, meaningful engagement, and communities where older adults can continue to contribute, connect, and thrive.”
