Mission

The Longevity Center Mission is to help people live better, longer lives through lifelong learning, research, and community programs. We seek to motivate and empower people to take an active role in their self-care and wellness. 

 

Programming

The Longevity Center offers programming for lifelong learning through our Senior Scholars program, cognitve/memory training coursres, and webinars . We offer a Senior Resource directory for information for adults 50+ on events and resources at the UCLA Campus. Please see our description of these programs on our website.

 

Support

The Longevity Center is 100% self-supporting. We rely on our programming and gifts from the community to sustain our Center. Individuals and organizations can support the Longevity Center through tax deductible donations to honor an individual, provide a scholarship to one of our courses or senior scholars classes, or through supporting a new project or event.
