Powerful Purpose

First formed in 2004 as a coalition of Minnesota's leading non-profit community-based service organizations, our Leadership Council has broadened its mission and membership. Although diverse in expertise, we come together around a common mission and shared set of values:

Mission

The Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging creates communities and systems that support aging with dignity and a spirit of well-being in Minnesota.

Core Values

MEANING I CHOICE I CONTRIBUTION

We believe that all people have the right to meaningful lives and to be recognized for their unique identity as they age. We will promote opportunities for people to exercise choices, to contribute to the greater society as they choose, and to live a life filled with quality experiences.

Button
ENGAGED AND VALUED ASSETS

We believe that older adults are an asset to - and an integral part of - the communities in which we live. We will foster communities where older adults are connected, engaged and valued.

Button
DIGNITY I AUTONOMY I INFORMED RISK

We believe that people have the right to age with dignity and autonomy, including the right to take informed risk. We advocate for change when these rights are impinged upon.

Button
CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE APPROACHES

We believe that older adults have the right to culturally appropriate community services, social connections and healthcare that fosters their ongoing physical, psychological and spiritual well-being.

Button
ENSURE BASIC HUMAN NEEDS

We know that older adults can be vulnerable to poverty and isolation. We believe there is a societal obligation to ensure that the basic human needs of older adults are met.

Button
INTEGRATED SYSTEMS

We believe that systems must be integrated, holistic and flexible to support the diverse, growing and changing needs of people as they age.
