Senior Services of Alexandria (SSA) and the City of Alexandria are gearing up for the fall academies for Alexandria residents and employees. SSA is excited to offer the Senior Academy to Alexandria residents and employees 60 and older starting on Wednesday, Sept. 4. This four-week session takes place every Wednesday morning from 10 a.m. to 12 Noon. The weekly venues will change starting at City Hall, followed by Beatley Central Library, Police Headquarters, and Patrick Henry Recreation Center.
The Senior Academy is a great way to learn about all the services and programs the city has to offer to older adults, how the city operates, and become engaged in your community in a variety of ways. Attendees will hear from different city leaders and non-profits on topics including how the city formulates its annual budget to what recreational activities and continuing education opportunities are available for older adults.
The Academy is free and open to Alexandria residents who are 60+. The class size is limited to 25. Interested participants can request an application by calling Senior Services at 703-836-4414, ext. 110 or visit www.seniorservicesalex.org or the city’s website at www.alexandriava.gov/Academies
