Senior Centers & Social · District of Columbia · Free

Educational adventures for adults 50+ in 150 countries — formerly Elderhostel. Built for active older adults, retirees, and seniors at risk of isolation looking for community, classes, fitness, or volunteer work. Online classes (Senior Planet, GetSetUp, AARP) cover technology, fitness, and topics on demand — many are free. Intergenerational programs (volunteering with kids, mentoring) consistently improve mood and cognition in older adults. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
