Tell Your Senior Center Story

Whether you're a senior center employee, a caregiver who depends on a senior center for a loved one's health care delivery, or an older adult who relies on the vital community services that senior centers offer to help keep you healthy and independent—you have a story to tell. Share it with NCOA so we can learn from one another and raise our voices in advocacy efforts that frequently overlook us.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, senior centers are finding ways to bring older adults back, both physically and with other types of outreach.

Senior centers are powerful partners for organizations seeking to reach more older adults with evidence-based health promotion programs like falls prevention and Chronic Disease Self-Management Education.
