Description of Organization and Service Provided
The mission of the Senior Center is to promote optimal aging by creating opportunities to support wellness, social connections, community engagement, and lifelong learning. The Center serves the public through intergenerational programming and community outreach.

Located in a beautifully restored historic post office on the corner of Linn and Washington Streets in downtown Iowa City, The Center has been serving adults age 50+ since 1981.

Classes are taught by knowledgeable instructors and independent contractors in a wide range of areas including art, current events, dance, environment, fitness, literature, languages, history, philosophy, religion, science, technology, wellness, and more.

The Center's many groups and clubs offer opportunities to get involved with music, dance,  theatre performance, video production, leisure activities, and social activities.

Free professional services are available to the public, including legal counseling, health insurance counseling, advance care planning, and income tax preparation. The Center also provides support to local agencies that offer services to seniors, including the Visiting Nurse Association, Elder Services, Inc., and TRAIL (Tools and Resources for Active, Independent Living).

Membership is available to anyone age 50 and above and carries many benefits. Members can use the fitness areas, computer lab, painting studio, and billiards room; participate in classes and activities that are reserved for members only; receive reduced participation fees for some classes; and receive discounted parking while visiting The Center.

Stay active. Stay curious. Stay connected.
