Mission Statement

For over 35 years, AgeWell Middle TN (formerly Council on Aging of Middle TN) has been a trusted community resource and an advocate for older adults and family caregivers. We serve over 20,000 older adults, caregivers, and professionals annually through information and referral services, community education, and advocacy. Our mission is to champion informed and positive aging and serve as the area’s catalyst for collaborative solutions.
Our strategic approach includes convening partners around critical needs, facilitating collaboration, research, and planning, then launching solutions. Three programs successfully developed by AgeWell are:
• Living at Home – a care management program for older adult homeowners with limited income
• Discover Nashville and Discover Williamson – a civic engagement program for active older adults
• Senior Ride Nashville – a volunteer-assisted ride program for older adults who no longer drive, founded by AgeWell in 2017 and now operating in Davidson County as an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with the model being replicated in Sumner and Wilson counties

As more of us live longer, we have the unique opportunity to shape the future that we want for ourselves and our families. This work is vital as ten thousand Baby Boomers turn 65 every day, and by the year 2030, 20-25% of Tennesseans will be 65+. AgeWell is focused on 1) changing public perceptions about aging by promoting inclusive, age-friendly communities, and 2) partnering with nonprofit, government, and business stakeholders to generate solutions to the unmet needs of older adults and caregivers. Currently, our two NEW initiatives: a social enterprise (Eldercare Coach) that assists employers and employees by providing caregiver education and support, and a financial empowerment initiative to coordinate services for older adults across partnering organizations.

Mission Statement

The Choosing Justice Initiative (CJI) is a non-profit law firm working to end wealth-based disparities in Nashville’s criminal legal system through education, advocacy and direct legal representation. We deliver high quality, holistic legal representation at no cost to indigent adults and children facing criminal charges in Nashville, and advocate for laws, policies, and practices that promote greater equity, health, and justice for everyone. We are not about giving charity – we are about pursuing justice in solidarity with economically marginalized people and communities.
