Age-Friendly Receives 2026 Funding from The Columbus Foundation

LiFEsports recently released preliminary findings from a randomized study examining the impact of Coach Beyond trainings and the Life & Leadership Through Sport student-athlete curriculum.

This spring, the American Institutes for Research released Winning Beyond the Game: The Million Coaches Challenge Implementation Study, an independent, multiyear evaluation examining the impact of the Million Coaches Challenge (MCC) – a national effort to equip coaches with the skills needed to support young people both on and off the field.

The College of Social Work would like to take this time to recognize one of its academic centers whose mission is to innovate with older adults through research, education and engagement to make central Ohio communities age friendly. The Age-Friendly Innovation Center (AFIC) is committed to a set of principles that guide and ground the work of the center including striving toward culture competence, accessibility, community engagement and interdisciplinary collaboration.
