Pioneer Network in Culture Change

THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS TO LEAD THE NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO CHANGE THE WAY AMERICANS THINK ABOUT AND SUPPORT ELDERS AND THOSE WHO PROVIDE CARE AND SERVICES FOR THEM. THE TRANSFORMATION OF OLDER ADULT SERVICES IS BASED ON PERSON-DIRECTED VALUES AND PRACTICES WHERE THE VOICES OF ELDERS AND THOSE WORKING WITH THEM ARE CONSIDERED AND RESPECTED. CORE PERSON-DIRECTED VALUES ARE CHOICE, DIGNITY, RESPECT, SELF-DETERMINATION, AND PURPOSEFUL LIVING.
