Pioneer Network

Supporting A Culture of Aging that is Life-Affirming, Satisfying, Humane and Meaningful Since 1997

OUR VISION

A Culture of Aging that is Life-Affirming, Satisfying, Humane and Meaningful



We recognize our need to create ways of living and working together different from the traditional models. The Pioneer Network supports models where elders live in open, diverse, caring communities. Pioneers are working for deep system change by both evolutionary and revolutionary means, using Pioneer values and principles as the foundations for change.  In-depth change in systems requires change in governmental policy and regulation; change in the individual's and society's attitudes toward aging and elders; change in elders' attitudes towards themselves and their aging; and change in the attitudes and behavior of caregivers toward those for whom they care. We refer to this work as culture change. Our aim is nothing less than transforming the culture of aging in America.




OUR MISSION



The Pioneer Network advocates and facilitates deep system change and transformation in our culture of aging. To achieve this, we:

                Create communication, networking and learning opportunities

                Build and support relationships and community

                Identify and promote transformations in practice, services, public policy and research

                Develop and provide access to resources and leadership

VALUES AND PRINCIPLES

                Know each person

                Each person can and does make a difference

                Relationship is the fundamental building block of a transformed culture

                Respond to spirit, as well as mind and body

                Risk taking is a normal part of life

                Put person before task

                All elders are entitled to self-determination wherever they live

                Community is the antidote to institutionalization

                Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
