We are the Area Agency on Aging serving Barry and Calhoun counties. The Older Americans Act of 1965 created agencies like ours at the federal, state, and local level to administer programs that help the elderly maintain their health and independence in their homes and communities. Region 3B Area Agency on Aging was designated as an area agency on aging by the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging in 1996. We are a private, not-for-profit agency, serving Barry and Calhoun counties. Our mission is to promote health, independence and choice for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers. What we do - In keeping with our mission, the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) performs three primary activities: ■Advocates on behalf of older and disabled persons. ■Identifies needs of the elderly and disabled, and develops plans for meeting those needs through a system of in-home and community services to enable people to maintain their independence and dignity. ■Administers federal, state, local and private funds to support those services.

Youth Conservation Corps is a non-profit organization committed to providing Lake County’s young people with education, certification programs and career development to build skills for life. In the majority of our programs, YCC serves youth between 16 and 24 years old who have not completed high school and face other challenges, such as being low income, homeless, single parents, persons with disabilities and/or foster youth. Our young people are from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds and live within Waukegan, North Chicago, Zion, and other pockets of poverty within Lake County. Through our hands-on job skills training, GED courses and other career readiness work, we empower these young people to get back on track, gain self-reliance and develop lifelong skills to achieve their goals. Our Vision: Every teenager or young adult has a pathway to success, regardless of life circumstances. Our Mission: Guide and mentor young adults using education, job skills training and community service to help develop productive citizens. Get Involved: Youth Conservation Corps relies on individuals, businesses and community groups to give our young people the educational, employment and life-changing opportunities they need to succeed.
