Individual & Community Involvement
In a vibrant, livable community, people engage in service, volunteer, maintain connections, and participate in social, civic, cultural, educational, and recreational activities. A vibrant, livable community values older adults and makes aging well a community priority.
What have we accomplished?
- Senior Centers are providing meaningful opportunities, such as activities, trips, special events and outdoor and athletic programs and wellness programs to older adults across the county. The Senior Services of Boulder and Lafayette conducted a successful capital campaign to purchase the “Dream Machine” bus for trips.
- Circle of Care provides accessibility to the arts, education and social/civic opportunities for the homebound elder, senior facility residents and older adults with physical, cognitive and financial challenges.
- CareCONNECT reports that every year, 925 volunteers aged 55 and older provide almost 150,000 hours of volunteer service through various agencies in Boulder County! That’s over $3,000,000 worth of services provided!
- Louisville’s Bloomin’ Seniors Garden Club received the 2010 “Outstanding Program” award from the Colorado Association of Senior Centers.
- The Longmont Senior Center conducts outreach to older Latinos through the following cultural and educational activities: ESL classes, Spanish Club, and Bailes di mi Tierra.
