Additionally, part of AGED’s mission is to provide resources and training on seniors and disability issues to the community at large. As such, AGED is a proud sponsor of the following organizations:
The mission of Best Buddies is to establish a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The Seniors Intervention Group is a partnership between local faith-based organizations and the fire and police departments of the seven Seminole County cities.
