Our Mission:

Madison Senior Center, a City of Madison agency, involves older adults in their community and the Senior Center as leaders, teachers and learners; provides a balanced, diverse and coordinated program; and promotes the Senior Center as a model for the aging and aged.

"The Madison Senior Center promotes successful aging."
