Seniors Program

Centro has had the privilege of operating the longest-standing program for Latino seniors in Minnesota. Elders play an important role in our community. Our elders transmit our culture and their life wisdom to younger members of the community. Centro works with seniors who are 60 or older and have reached the rich third stage of life. They meet at Centro twice a week, engaging in a wide variety of day-long recreational, health, and educational activities. We also bring in guest speakers, take the seniors on field trips, and provide nutritious snacks and warm lunch. Many seniors volunteer to read with the children enrolled in our Siembra Pre-School Program.
