Some imagine that the goal of senior center staff is to schedule games and activities to keep older people busy. In contrast, at Northshore our job is to greet whoever walks in the door, ask what they want to do and then support them in doing it. The participants become volunteers who bring their friends, build attention to their activities, call others to become involved, attract new and skilled volunteers, and watch their programs grow. Senior power has been our banner, and it has built our center into one of the largest and most active in the country.
