The GAC Mission and Vision is to optimize our current organization's abilities, and to predict emerging needs and resources required to support an organization that allows aging adults to feel empowered, supported, engaged, and independent.
Community and Member Involvement
Golden Age Center is dedicated to meeting the diverse and ever-expanding needs of our community, and energizing our community’s growing aging population through accessible, innovative, and multi-generational programs and services. We strive to implement more wellness and social programs to fulfill the needs and interests of all members.

Enhance existing and develop new services and programs

Funding Opportunities

Establish creative and meaningful fundraising initiatives
Ensure our monies are sufficiently budgeted and allocated
Dedicate large grant monies to continually make changes to our center to benefit our community.
Identity and Image
We want to be a forward-looking Center that serves aging adults and their families. We want to project an image, a brand, and a facility that not only draws visitors and members to the Center, but also integrates the Center into the heart of the community by providing a facility that is safe, comfortable, and inviting.
Continue renewed branding and expanded outreach
Continue enhancements and improvements to the current facility
Board Development and Staffing
The Golden Age Center will be equipped with a strong and engaged Board, experienced and committed staff, and loyal volunteers. As we continue to develop programs and activities, there is increasing demand for the Executive Director, staff, and volunteers, and, as such, we need to ensure adequate support to carry out the essential duties required to maintain an organization that is seen as a valued community asset.
Board of Directors will be fully engaged and adequately staffed with necessary skill sets
Assess staffing needs to ensure we have the support needed to provide regular and ongoing services and programs
Encourage and reward loyal and dedicated volunteerism
THE POWER OF HEALTHY AGING FOR ALL!
The aging of the U.S. population is one of the major public health challenges we face in the 21st century. By 2030, every baby boomer will be age 65 or older, which means that 1 out of every 5 US citizens will be of retirement age.
Aging adults and seniors who maintain active lifestyles and social connections have shown to live more years in good health and have reduced health care costs, are better able to support other family members as caregivers, and are more likely to give back to the senior community as volunteers. We offer the space and experiences that contribute to the health of our community, and provide a comfortable place for people to live their lives to the best of their potential.
The Comfort Golden Age Center Strategic Plan has been developed to support the aging and senior community in a way that promotes health, safety, and independence in an age-friendly environment.
