Welcome to Coming of Age:Bay Area!®
The Coming of Age initiative seeks to harness the talents, skills and energy of one of our most valuable resources: people age 50+. We do this in two ways: we help organizations strengthen their capabilities, and we help people 50+ explore passions, pursue lifelong learning, become leaders, and engage in meaningful service to the community.

► What's next in YOUR life? To help you discover the possibilities, fall sessions of our "Explore Your Future" workshops are scheduled to begin September 16 in two locations: San Francisco and Albany. Get inspired, find your passion, and start living your life. This four-session, hands-on learning experience helps you think about ways to create a vision and a real, practical plan for making your future meaningful and rewarding.

[Our group] had a lot of fun together and were able to expand upon one another's ideas with exhilarating synergy." Read more....
