Innovations Documentary Series
The Innovations documentary series profiles the work of creative organizations that engage older Americans in new and compelling ways to revitalize their communities.
Profiled in Innovations:
 | Experience Corps: Lessons for Life A tale of local heroes, women and men from economically blighted inner-city areas, foregoing conventional retirement to devote their time and energy to children in need. |
 | Hope Meadows: Raising a Neighborhood A former military base converted into a foster care village where older adults help take care of some of the most vulnerable young people in society. |
 | Ignatian Lay Volunteer Corps: Finding God in All Things People age 50 and older who have retired but choose to continue working – with food banks, homeless shelters, prison ministries, and other programs to contribute to their communities. |
 | RV Care-a-Vanners: Giving Shelter Older adults who reinvest in community – and not just their own – by building houses with Habitat for Humanity and helping low-income families make a fresh start. |
 | Samaritan House Free Clinic: The Art of Medicine A medical miracle in a small California city offers a glimpse of how we might make the most of America's aging society. |
 | Rainbow Intergenerational Child Care Center: Subject of My Heart For more than 14 years, working poor families in Miami's Little Havana have found assistance from Cuban-born refugees – all of whom are older women. |
Funding for this series has been provided through generous grants from the Helen Andrus Benedict Foundation, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and The Atlantic Philanthropies.
