Classes and Courses for Senior AdultsAddressing the varied and changing needs of senior adults by providing stimulating social, physical and cultural programs. For information, contact Amy Hollander, Director, Senior Adult Programs, at 203-487-0983, or ahollander@stamfordjcc.org.
JCC seniors enjoy their own lounge with bathroom and kitchen. Hot lunches are served in our multi-purpose auditorium, and classes are held in the adult lounge and the library. Included are day long excursions to the theater and museums. We meet the needs of older adults by providing stimulating social, physical, and intellectual programs. Senior Adult programs at the JCC are made possible through the support of United Way of Western Connecticut, and by the fundraising efforts of The Center Women and the POSH Committee (JCC Providers Of Senior Happiness).
