Center 50+ is a growing, dynamic organization poised to meet the evolving needs of the 50+ population of today and tomorrow. The Center welcomes input from new participants and partners to help develop a center that meets the needs of those 50 and older and serves the community.

  • Enjoy life-long learning through our lectures and classes.
  • Stay healthy and active with exercise and outdoor programming.
  • Explore the arts by attending a dance class, learning the fine skill of drawing and painting, or by joining one of our gallery tour groups.
  • Meet new friends and enjoy good conversation over a cup of coffee.
  • Have fun playing cards, billiards, or other games.
  • Share ideas at one of our book clubs or discussion groups.
  • Find support and encouragement from others at one of our support groups.

The Salem Senior Center opened its doors in 1976 after a successful fund raising effort led by seniors and the development of a partnership with the City of Salem. This unique partnership consists of the City of Salem funding the Center's operational and maintenance budget, while program fees, community and business sponsorship support, fund raising events, and in-kind contributions help to fund programs and services. Partners such as Senior Volunteers, Chemeketa Community College, RSVP, Alzheimer's Association, Townhouse, and Salem Hospital allow the Center to offer a full variety of programs and services such as support groups and services, social services, meals and more!
