A Community that is good for all ages is a community that is built to last.
AGEnts for Change are ACTIVE volunteers regularly engage in Community advocacy and social justice to insure that our community is a safe livable place for people of all ages to live work and play in.
Volunteers work to improve our community to make sure it is an 'all age, all people' friendly home for everyone; particularly older adults.
Volunteers engage in advocacy and social justice to support key issues from Healthy Housing, Healthy Transportation, Healthy Food!
AGEnts don’t have to be experts in governmental affairs or even issues related to healthy aging, but bring their willingness to learn about issues and advocacy skills through monthly meetings, trainings and community research.
What do AGEnts for Change do?Volunteers work to understand how policy decisions can impact the lives of seniors and their families, and then work with decision makers to effect sustainable change.
AGEnts decide how they want to contribute. This can include a variety of activities such as:
- Researching issues and concerns affecting Santa Clara County seniors, their caregivers and their families
- Outreach in Our communities
- Answering calls to action such as writing or calling your elected official
- Meeting with decision makers who can impact policy
- Speaking at City Council or County Board of Supervisors meetings on behalf of a specific issue
- Participating in AGEnts for Change meetings
- Inviting others to AGEnts for Change events or making calls to other volunteers
- Sharing personal stories, passion and care

Mission Statement
Our Mission: To build health equity in the Silicon Valley.
Description
Our Vision:
The Health Trust believes every Silicon Valley resident should have the opportunity to live a healthy life.
How:
We at The Health Trust believe that if Silicon Valley is a community where innovation is changing the world, then it also can be a community where innovation changes the lives of everyone - especially our most vulnerable residents - for the better.
As we strive to make our vision reality, we reflect the values of Silicon Valley. When we tackle a problem, we take the broad view. We rely on expertise, partnerships and best practices to generate solutions that will have the greatest impact on those we serve. We invest in projects that are sustainable, show measurable results and provide the greatest return on investment for the community.
With a strong emphasis on prevention, we focus our work through three initiatives: Healthy Living, Healthy Aging and Healthy Communities. Through direct services, we are helping one person at a time. And through policy advocacy and grantmaking, we are changing the local environment to promote healthy eating, healthy aging and healthy living.
