Seniors are vital members of the East End House community. Many have been using services at the agency since they were young children, and their stories and experiences have shaped the story of East End House and East Cambridge as a whole. Today they are an integral part of the agency, volunteering at special events like the Thanksgiving Turkey Basket Giveaway and the Summer Block Party, and participating in the Senior Activities and Outreach Program and the Young at Heart Club.
Senior Activities and Outreach Program
The Senior Activities and Outreach Program is a group of area seniors who meet twice a week to engage in a variety of social activities. It is open to all seniors in the community. Program members also volunteer within the agency, assisting with special events throughout the year. Members of the program enjoy:
- Bingo & trivia
- Yoga & tai chi
- Historical lectures from guest speakers
- Resource presentations from local city agencies
- Movie viewings
- Luncheons
- Field Trips
The Senior Activities and Outreach Program meets every Monday and Wednesday, between 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Please check out our senior calendar for the specific times for each activity!
Young at Heart Club
Young at Heart Club is designed to promote knowledge and action around health and wellness. Health screenings and interactive presentations give seniors the information needed to live healthier and more energetic lifestyles without drastic changes. A walking club, yoga and other activities give seniors active and social experiences. This program is open to senior citizens of any age who are interested in living healthier and more social lifestyles.
