Northland Diversity in Aging Series

Highlighting the unique experiences of aging and caregiving

A laptop displays the Northland Diversity in Aging Series (NDIA) webpage, featuring the NDIA logo, partner logos, navigation menu, and a description about supporting aging communities and diversity.

The Opportunity

Aging and caring for loved ones are shaped by culture, identity, socioeconomic status, and access to vital resources. Yet, these diverse perspectives are often overlooked in broader discussions about aging. To build a more inclusive and supportive community for all ages, we must recognize and address these differences.

The Solution

The Northland Diversity in Aging Series (NDIA) was created in collaboration with The College of Saint Scholastica’s Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and Gerontology Program, the Northland Foundation, and the Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging to amplify diverse aging and caregiving experiences. Through events, discussions, and resources, NDIA sparks meaningful conversations, explores the impact of policies and systems, and supports individuals and caregivers from all backgrounds.
