Updated: Aug 18
In early 2022 a think tank was formed by Young Professional’s who Serve Seniors (YPSS) to discuss how youth-focused ageism presents itself in the workplace.
Inspired by activist Ashton Applewhite the forum was asked to where do young professionals fit into the Ageism conversation? Their answer:

The tips shared below were developed from this think tank. Their suggestions are meant to inspire inclusion and communication in the workplace.
