SCOV about us

Executive Director and Board of Directors

This Shepherd’s Center, organized in 1997, is one of the nearly 70 Shepherd’s Centers all over North America shaping a new image of aging. Our primary purpose is to provide services to assist older adults to continue to live independently in their own homes and to offer programs which supply opportunities for enrichment, learning and socialization. Volunteer opportunities allow individuals to feel needed by reaching out to other older adults. Check our Calendar frequently to find activities and events in the community which might be of interest to you.
