The Center’s Initiatives or educational programs were adopted by the Center for Positive Aging to help aging communities. From Positive Aging lifestyles (PALS) whose curriculum focuses on the mind, body and spirit, to Modern World 101 which helps grandparents understand modern technology and the challenges of raising grandchildren today, our programs target many weaknesses within our elder community. The Center educates and train elders and community leaders to teach our educational programs in their communities. This type of training is known as a Train-the-Trainer session. The Center may also supervise or serve as a liaison for a program originally created by another organization. Please visit the "Education" portion of our website to learn more about the Center’s Initiatives.
