The Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) is a nonprofit organization operating in central Virginia that focuses on information and supportive services for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and family caregivers. Founded in 1975 and based in Charlottesville, Virginia, the organization aims to help people remain active, engaged, and independent by connecting them with resources that support healthy aging and community participation. JABA serves residents across Charlottesville and surrounding counties, offering assistance across a broad range of needs to people at all income levels. In addition to direct services, the organization established JABA, Inc. in 1986 as a way to secure private funds to enhance its programs and better serve a growing senior population. A recent development noted is the launch of the Shining Star Preschool program in September 2021, reflecting JABA’s broader community reach beyond aging services.
