About Us :

Mission
Contra Costa for Every Generation is a countywide effort to make our local communities good places to age – supporting our aspirations to stay healthy, live independently, and lead full and productive lives.

The Guiding Principles
Contra Costa for Every Generation believes in:

»    Building a community based on respect, mutuality, interdependence, and coexistence of all generations.
»    Making an ongoing commitment to addressing the needs of our aging community.
»    Providing choice and quality options.
»    Recognizing and embracing diversity.
»    Respecting aging as a life long process.

Achieving Our Mission
CCEG volunteers bring considerable assets – experience, knowledge, skills, relationships, positions of influence, reputation, decision-making powers, vision, and passion – to a countywide process for catalyzing change. Our organization offers training, resources, and organizational skills to anyone interested in working with us to pursue our mission. We employ two main over arching strategies in pursuit of our mission:

»    Identify, promote and support existing aging-friendly practices.
»    Advocate for more aging-friendly practices wherever needed.
