Our Mission

• | Print |

The Life Enrichment Center is a unique and special place. It is the only private, non-profit senior center in Hillsborough County, one of few across the country.  Its cultural arts program has received national and international recognition and serves as a model of a successful community-based organization, serving adults primarily 50+. We are also the only agency in Hillsborough County specifically addressing the needs of high-functioning, well, active older adults. 

Our funding comes primarily from contributions from private citizens, corporate sponsors, civic organizations, grants, and fundraising events. All donations are tax deductible.  It takes a community effort to ensure that classes and programs like those offered at the Life Enrichment Center will continue to be available for all of the citizens in Hillsborough County at affordable prices, in a safe and comfortable environment.

As our society continues to age and live longer, organizations like ours are becoming even more important.  Research indicates that baby boomers are going to be looking for activities that challenge and stimulate them and enable them to explore creative options for which they have not previously had time. This is exactly what the Life Enrichment Center is all about – offering innovative classes and activities that provide adults with the opportunity to continue to learn and grow life-long. I invite you to visit the Life Enrichment Center and I encourage you to support our program.

Executive Director
