Senior Centers & Social · Illinois · Free

Promotes encore careers and social purpose work in the second half of life. Worth contacting for any senior who wants to learn something new — language, technology, art, history, dance — at low or no cost. Online classes (Senior Planet, GetSetUp, AARP) cover technology, fitness, and topics on demand — many are free. Social isolation has the health impact of smoking 15 cigarettes a day — these aren't optional add-ons, they're medicine. Open at no cost to Illinois seniors and the families supporting them.
