SENIOR CENTER RECEIVES NATIONAL ACCREDITATION
On December 19, 2006, the Boynton Beach Senior Center was notified by the National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC)  that we were awarded National Accreditation. After a long process which included a self assessment with nine chapters and over 50 documents our manual was approved and we had a peer site review on November 8 & 9. At the time we were pleased to be one of the six senior centers in the state to achieve accreditation and the first in South Florida.

Volunteers
The Senior Center is always looking for volunteers who would like to help. Our volunteers are the backbone of our center. They help out in areas such as registration, classes, programs, special events and the Congregate Meal Program.  Not only are they volunteers, they are participants at the Center.  Each year, we thank our volunteers with an Awards Banquet. If you would like to be a volunteer, call Recreation Specialist Ann Forster at (561) 742-6570. All volunteers are required to go through a national background check.
