Volunteering

Not only can you improve your self-esteem and community involvement by volunteering, it’s a great way to meet friends! There are plenty of senior-friendly volunteering services right here in Cincinnati. Cincinnati Cares is a great site to help you find a local match. VolunteerMatch.org is another great organization that matches up senior citizens to worthy causes nationwide.

Embrace you Passions/Hobbies

Enjoy cooking or learning new things? It’s never too late to sign up for a continued education classes at schools such as culinary institutes and local collages. Perhaps you enjoy playing chess or reading. Many local meet up groups embrace new members for game nights and book clubs!

Get Moving!

Gyms and senior fitness classes are the perfect way to meet new people plus they have the bonus of getting fit! There are national programs such as Silver Sneakers where you can find senior friendly workouts in your area such as chair yoga and senior Zumba.

Join Faith Based-Groups or Community Meet-up

Most faith-based communities have an array of activities for seniors from Bingo nights to prayer groups. If religion is not your thing, there are sites such as MeetUp.com where you can join an established senior group or start one of your own! We also suggest checking out the local community center for senior events in your area.
