The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s Seniors Services Department was created to enrich the lives of LGBT people 50 years and older through educational, social and cultural events and activities. Because so many LGBT seniors remain in the closet, they often feel isolated and lonely. The Seniors Services Department provides a safe and nurturing environment for this overlooked group. Offering nearly 50 events/ activities each month--all of them free or low-cost--the Seniors Services Department helps those who have little connection to their family find a community. The department also connects seniors with other Center services such as counseling, support groups, HIV testing and medical care, legal services, self-enrichment courses, the Internet cyber center and more. Additionally, the department advocates for LGBT seniors through partnerships with other senior service providers. With this wide array of services, the Center helps LGBT seniors live healthier, happier lives.
