The Creativity Discovery Corps
A Program of the Center on Aging, Health & Humanities
at the George Washington University Medical Center
What is the Creativity Discovery Corps?
The Creativity Discovery Corps was founded in 1997 by Gene Cohen, M.D., Ph.D. and Barbara Soniat, Ph.D. of The Center on Aging, Health & Humanities at The George Washington University. The Corps is supported by organizations and individuals who appreciate the need for sharing the life stories and special creative talents of older adults. These organizations include other programs at The George Washington University (e.g., the Art Therapy Program and the Oral History Program) as well as a wide range of community-based programs (e.g., IONA Senior Services in Washington, DC). It was developed in response to the fact that creativity in later life has been greatly under-recognized-both its potential and its prevalence. Awareness that there is no age limit to tapping human potential affects not only how we view and prepare for our own future development, but it also influences how society nurtures and benefits from its older human resources.
