State-of-the-Art Building
Become a member of the new Bay Ridge Center! At our state-of-the-art building, members will receive hot meals, work out using medical-grade gym equipment, engage in art therapy, receive social services, and much more. Our building will be a best-practice model for older adult centers in New York City and across the country.
Bay Ridge Center’s mission
is to provide services and programs for adults 60 years and older in southwest Brooklyn that promote their well-being, support their independence and encourage their involvement in community life. Since 1976 our staff has been aided by enthusiastic volunteers and works in cooperation with other community organizations, local businesses, schools and social service organizations to fulfill its mission.
