About Us

Our Mission

To create and maintain an environment that encourages independence for older adults by providing learning, social, and recreational opportunities in the continued pursuit of a fulfilling and healthy life. We educate the community about the issues related to the aging process.

Our Values Statement

We, the Board, staff, and volunteers of the Sebastopol Area Senior Center, love our seniors! We respect their wisdom and history, enjoy their humor, appreciate their contributions to society, and address their changing needs with good programs and support. No senior needs to face the challenges of aging alone.

Our Diversity Statement

The Sebastopol Area Senior Center welcomes people of every family composition, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, religious background, ethnicity, race, and gender. We encourage people to participate fully in every aspect of the Senior Center’s life and activities.

What We Hold Sacred

Fairness | Aging in Place | Respect | Independence | Innovation | Excellence | Support | Compassion | Life Experience | Community | Meaningful Life

We reach out to all seniors, keeping our services affordable specifically as an outreach to those in lower income brackets.
