SENIORS' PROGRAM

We recognize that Black seniors experience multifaceted social isolation and marginalization. The ACS Seniors program is a thriving hub for seniors. It helps build a sense of pride and well-being through culturally appropriate activities that improve

health, wellness, quality of life, personal independence, and community life. ACS seniors program operates within the framework of engagement and empowerment so that our Black seniors can function as active members of their

communities. 

The program provides seniors with an opportunity to socialize with one another in a safe, secure, and culturally appropriate environment. Some of the recreational activities seniors participate in include playing games, dancing, attending health and wellness workshops, and celebrating holidays and birthdays together.

Additionally, seniors receive information about their rights and the resources available for their needs. Clients engage in leisure and recreational activities focused on fellowship, fun, relaxation, and education.
