The program aim is to provide free of charge classes for senior citizens in the community. While classes were previously held at the MBSCC and community/public spaces like the Joyce Klimer Park, courses were moved to an online-only format via the new MBSCC YouTube channel in September 2020 because of the pandemic. Currently there are 24 online video classes for seniors (including exercise, fitness and wellness classes such as line dancing, mindful meditation, poetry reading, nutrition education, art classes and many more).
