What we’re about
The Vital Aging Network (VAN) is a Minnesota-based nonprofit organization that helps adults age 50 and older create vitality, purpose, and community as they age. Our goal is to empower people to live with meaning, stay connected, and contribute to their communities through leadership, learning, and action. We welcome anyone interested in exploring new possibilities, building relationships, and taking an active role in shaping their own aging journey.
At VAN events, participants can learn, share, and connect through engaging discussions, peer-led workshops, and community projects. Signature programs such as Aging with Gusto, Wellness 50+, and the Vital Aging Network Forums offer opportunities to strengthen well-being, develop leadership, and make a positive difference in the places we live and age. Guided by the principles of self-determination, civic engagement, and well-being, VAN promotes a culture where aging is celebrated as a time of growth, connection, and contribution.
