Objective:
Older adults are an untapped resource for leading sustainability change. This study assessed a pilot study of a Sustainability Ambassadors Training Program for older adults.
Methods:
The pilot training program was conducted with a sample of 14 older adults over a single day, with some follow-up activities for participants at home. Activities included completing a sustainable action card-sorting activity measuring an individual's ability to make sustainable changes within their lives. A brief researcher-devised empowerment scale was administered pre- and postworkshop.
Results:
Quantitative data revealed that sustainability empowerment increased from pre- to post-training sessions and was related to the number of sustainability actions participants thought were achievable.
Conclusions:
The data suggest that such a brief training workshop can both yield personal change and potentially provide opportunities for a peer network to facilitate change within communities.
