SDSU Extension received support from the South Dakota Department of Health to offer a new program in 2025 – the Aging Mastery Program (AMP). AMP is a program designed to empower individuals to make the most of their later years through education in health management, financial planning, and community engagement. The program consists of 10 core curriculum topics, offered through 10 weekly or twice weekly sessions. Elective class topics can also be added to enhance the program. AMP is designed to include peer-to-peer interaction and is led by trained leaders.
This annual report provides 2025 data on the utilization and outcomes of the Aging Mastery Program in the first year offered through SDSU Extension. The specific aims were to share information on the number of sessions offered, characteristics of participants, participant-reported outcomes at completion, and satisfaction with services provided.
