Senior Center Named in the Top Twelve

The Fort Collins Senior Center was named in the top 12 by the National Council on Aging and the National Institute of Senior Centers for 2008 and 2009.

In addition, the center was awarded National Accreditation in 2003 and 2009. Of 15,000 centers in the U.S., fewer than 200 receive this distinction, the Fort Collins Senior Center is one of only two in Colorado. The Senior Center provides for the citizens a community focal point where families find services and activities that reflect their experience and skills, respond to their diverse needs and interests, enhance their dignity and support their independence and encourage their involvement in and with the community.

Senior Center Membership

Many services at the Senior Center are limited to members only, so join today. Memberships are available for a minimum donation of $25, are good for a 12-month period and can be purchased at any time. Scholarships are available, contact the Senior Center at 970.221.6644 for more information. Membership does not include drop-in fitness use of the facility but does give you the opportunity to purchase a Walk/Jog Pass or the Senior Sports Club Pass (see below) and allows you to pay the reduced membership fee for specific programs.

The Forum depends entirely upon the talents and expertise of its members for administration and instruction. Participants electing to take a course prepare and make assigned presentations in keeping with the topic. Membership for Front Range Forum is $15 per year. All Front Range Forum members must also be members of the Senior Center. For class information see the In-Former newsletter. You can pick up a copy at the Senior Center or view it online.
