Kingsborough offers Aging Mastery Program for seniors
Lessons on nutrition, financial planning part of curriculum
Brooklyn senior citizens are getting an exciting chance to take a specialized course at Kingsborough Community College this spring, thanks to a new program the college will offer to teach adults the best ways to navigate their older years and remain healthy and financially solvent.
At a press conference Tuesday morning at the Bay Ridge Center, a senior citizens center, Susan Lavin, director of My Turn, an educational program for older adults at Kingsborough, announced that the community college has teamed up with the National Council on Aging to develop the Aging Mastery Program, a 10-week course designed to help older adults live a good quality of life.
The course, which begins on April 25, will be taught at two locations in Brooklyn: Kingsborough Community College at 2001 Oriental Blvd. in Manhattan Beach; and at the Bay Ridge Center at 6935 Fourth Ave. in Bay Ridge. The course is open to adults aged 50 and above.
“It’s a wonderful program that we think you will enjoy,” Lavin told senior citizens at the center.
