Get Involved

The NGO Committee on Ageing NY is a committee of NGOs and individuals committed to advancing ageing issues across the United Nations ecosystem.

Since 1982 we have championed the rights, dignity, and full participation of older persons worldwide, ensuring that population ageing is recognized not as a challenge to be managed but as an opportunity to be embraced.

Why Your Participation Matters

We advocate for policies that empower older adults to live healthy, secure, and engaged lives.

Working alongside UN agencies, Member States, and a global network of NGOs, we:

Integrate ageing across the UN ecosystem
Advocate for a UN Convention on the rights of Older Persons
Elevate the voices of older women and marginalized communities
Embed ageing across the Sustainable Development Goals

Whether you represent an organization, are an engaged professional, or simply care about healthy, equitable ageing, there is a place for you in our community.
