Age Equity Alliance (AEA) is a 501(c)(3) focused on increasing age equity in the workplace through education, and training. Our goal is to debunk age-related myths and stereotypes across the age spectrum, promoting the short- and long-term benefits of multigenerational collaboration.
AEA provides ongoing research, training tools, and outreach activities leveraging credible resources, policies, and practices. Virtual training consists of interactive, 90-minute modules.
“The sessions were a great introduction to the impact of ageism in the workplace. Sheila’s vast knowledge of this topic, along with the examples and stories shared, helped participants understand the value of age-inclusive workplaces and how they might begin to address it. So happy to have an organization that is solely focused on ensuring a workplace’s culture embraces, and is fair to, all ages.”

EveryGenTM Collaboration

Age Equity Evaluation & Consultation
The vision for Age Equity Alliance is to establish Age Equity as a core value for every workplace and a fundamental component of every Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) strategy.
Age Equity Evaluations examine internal and external environments to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to an age-equitable, age-inclusive reputation. Based on the internal data provided, AEA compares age representation data within and across industries and makes recommendations for the best next steps.
