Senior Centers

Visit a Berkeley Senior Center for free or low-cost meals, classes, transportation, field trips, and more.

Berkeley senior centers offer a variety of enrichment activities and support services designed to empower seniors in our community to learn, grow, and discover new ways to be actively engaged in living. At this time, all participants must provide proof of full vaccination for COVID-19.
