Shepherd’s
Centers of America (SCA) is a network of interfaith
community-based organizations that provide meaning and purpose for adults
throughout their mature years. SCA’s role is to build and support this
nationwide network of over 75 member organizations in 21 states. All Shepherds’
Centers have a commonly understood mission to empower older adults to use their
wisdom and skills for the good of their communities. Life long learning
opportunities and social services are provided through partnerships with many
faiths and the community at large. Volunteers are the leaders in providing
in-home and community based services for their neighbors. The vision is that
individuals will experience meaningful lives through all phases of their mature
years.
SCA’s focus is on:
-
Providing technical assistance to new and mature Centers. This help comes in
the form of board and leadership development, fund raising and strategic
planning, volunteer recruitment consultation, marketing design, and regional
and national conferences.
-
Staying abreast of the newest research on aging. SCA designs, tests and then
disseminates innovative and viable programs throughout the Shepherd’s Center
network. New programs include Partners in Health and Breaktime Club.
-
Building a collaborative network with other regional and national organizations
that serve the interests of older adults.
