Welcome to the Arizona Senior Center Association

At ACSA, we promote the well-being of seniors as well as the quality of Senior Centers through advocacy, education, networking opportunities, resource development and technical assistance.

To help us improve our service we are currently developing our website, so please excuse us while we rebuild. Our new, more engaging, more informative website will be live later in the summer; it will be a better source of information for both our members and Arizona seniors searching for resources on senior centers, health, and aging, among other topics.

From the President

ASCA is an organization of professionals working in the field of senior services. Its membership includes senior center staff, senior center volunteers, and administrators who work closely with seniors and/or manage senior centers.

The Association works to:

  • Develop training opportunities for senior center staff.
  • Provide mutual support and networking opportunities.
  • Increase resource development, both in ASCA participation and financial stability.
  • Provide technical assistance to senior center staff.
  • Advocate for those we serve.

Since 1990, members have benefited from conferences and workshops on important topics such as managing volunteers, food service safety, health and nutrition, special events, elder abuse, and falls prevention.

Membership benefits include: opportunities to network with aging professionals from around the state; an annual conference; continuing education workshops; and a quarterly newsletter. Membership is very affordable. Download the membership form for more information.

Stay tuned as we redesign this web site. We will have links to important web sites, Arizona senior center information, and helpful hints on activities and best practices for senior centers.

President
