Join the Age-Friendly Bemidji Movement

Bemidji is taking steps to become a more livable community, a place where people of all ages can afford to live, move around safely, access essential services, work and volunteer, and engage in civic and social life.

As our population grows older and people’s needs evolve, communities across Minnesota are adapting. Bemidji is preparing to enroll in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, a nationwide initiative that supports local efforts to make communities better for people of all ages. More than 1,000 communities have joined the network nationwide, and over 30 communities in Minnesota are already part of the movement.

A local committee is leading the effort in Bemidji and is inviting more residents to get involved. Whether you’re a longtime advocate or simply curious about age-friendly initiatives, your input matters.

Together, we can help Bemidji become a place where everyone — no matter their age — can live well.
