Greetings!

The Pioneer Network legacy continues through the AgingIN (formerly the Center for Innovation)—home to both The Green House Project and Pioneer Network.

Volunteers are currently curating Pioneer Network’s resources for easier access and sharing through the AgingIN platform. This website will remain available during the transition, with the refreshed collection launching in early 2026.

Thank you for continuing to champion person-directed living and meaningful lives for all older adults and the people who care for them.
