Our Mission
Our mission is to provide adults 50+ with opportunities for connection, wellness, independence, and support so they can live engaged, healthy lives within the Newark community.
What You Can Expect From Us Every Day
Accredited Standards
Being nationally accredited by the National Institute of Senior Centers means our programs, governance, and operations meet recognized standards. For you, that translates into structure, accountability, and services built on proven senior-center models.
Active, Engaged Community
With a membership of more than 3,500 adults 50+, you’re joining a large and vibrant community—not a quiet or inactive space. Weekly classes, programs, and events ensure there’s always something happening.
Comprehensive Support in One Place
From supervised fitness and therapeutic pool access to trips, transportation, Meals on Wheels, and caregiver resources, our center brings many services together under one roof. That breadth makes it easier for you and your family to find solutions without navigating multiple agencies.
Inclusive and Accessible Spaces
Our facility at 200 White Chapel Dr includes accessible meeting and event spaces, with features such as a hearing loop in select rooms. You can participate confidently, knowing the environment is designed with comfort and inclusion in mind.
