For nearly five decades, Shepherd’s Centers of America has been a beacon for shaping the national conversation on positive aging in America. Today, our programs promote solutions for a more productive, meaningful, and independent way of living in later life. Building on years of experience, our empowering programs focus on lifelong learning, health and wellness, and volunteering in community in order to foster independence (and interdependence), grow meaningful friendships, and minimize social isolation.
