About Next Avenue America is in the midst of an age boom and with it, an amazing transition. In general, those of us over the age of 50 are expected to live longer than any previous generation. We're in the process of creating a new life stage that lies somewhere between young adulthood and "old-old" adulthood. This stage doesn't have a name. We call it Adult Part 2. And if you're reading this you're probably smack dab in it.
You're aware that many years of life lie ahead of you and, very likely, you have a different set of expectations for these "bonus years" than you had for earlier adulthood. You sense that you can somehow apply your knowledge and experiences in a meaningful way. Yet you may not know exactly how to achieve this new vision or see all the many possibilities available to you as you navigate the physical, health, work, and financial shifts that inevitably accompany this phase.
Enter Next Avenue. We're a group of public television people and journalists who, for the most part, are experiencing the very same things you are. Like you, we see both challenges and opportunities and we recognize that what we could all use right about now is an abundance of reliable information that can help us figure out what's, well, next.
So we aim to deliver that—in a way that's both smart and accessible.
If you think we could do a better job, we want you to tell us so. In fact, we want your input on a lot of things. There are places throughout the site that let you give us feedback, share your experiences and send us your stories.

Jill is also a Board Member for USAgainstAlzheimer's. Jill is an intergenerational caregiver; she helps care for her mother who has Alzheimer’s while also raising her school age children.
The WomenAgainstAlzheimer’s Network (WA2) is the powerful, united voice of women who bear the major burden of the Alzheimer’s crisis. We arm women with the information and easy-to-use connections needed to be heard in Washington, in state capitals, and to communicate with industry leaders and the research community. Our goal is to facilitate a network of women who inspire and learn from each other and to steer the energy of women towards advocacy efforts that advance our national commitment to ending Alzheimer’s.
The WomenAgainstAlzheimer's Network is part of the USAgainstAlzheimer’s Network organization which has a bold attitude and agile operating model driven by results. We are mad as hell about the current sluggish ‘business as usual’ pace of Alzheimer’s progress and we intend to be a disruptive force against the status quo. Our theory of change is rooted in the strong belief that we, the American people, can create the national will to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s. We will do this by pressuring our political, business and scientific leaders to mobilize the necessary resources and system reforms to accelerate laboratory discoveries to those with Alzheimer’s or at risk for the disease in the future.
Our Goals · Challenge policymakers and the research community to move away from business as usual to collaborate, to innovate, and to forge ahead in new and previously unforeseen ways to reach for a cure. · Spotlight the unfair impact of Alzheimer’s on women – as patients, caregivers, children and grandchildren – and the urgent need for a new approach. · Spark a movement of engaged and enraged women who are no longer willing to sit back and wait but are called to action by a disease likely to impact more than eight million people in the next decade, more than 60% of whom are women. · Marshall an army of women advocates in Washington and state capitals, and throughout the industry and the research community. · Educate lawmakers and the general public about the prevalence of the disease, it's particularly cruel burden on women and the resulting costs to our society.
