Community Leaders Fellowship 2025

West Hartford

The Town of West Hartford was selected by the Connecticut Age Well Collaborative as one of two municipalities to participate in the 2025 Community Leaders Fellowship program.

Over the course of the program, four West Hartford Fellows collaborated with municipal leadership on a project of their choosing, supported by coaching from the Collaborative. For their project, the Fellows decided to create a community poster campaign that celebrates every age and every ability in their town.

The Posters

Gail stands in stacks of the West Hartford library, holding a book about Harlem and her library card
Diane sits on a monumental, abstract, red sculpture on the lawn of West Hartford town hall
Robin stands in the florist area of a West Hartford grocery store, holding a bouquet of mixed summer flowers
Kevin swings on a set of swings in a West Hartford park
