Programs

  

Engage, Learn, and Delight!

The Kennett Area Senior Center is committed to offering our members and community a wide array of programs and services in a warm and welcoming environment. 

Since our spring of 2022 re-opening, we are busy developing new programs, and bringing back some old favorites, designed to engage and enhance everyday life!

If you are a first-time participant plan to come a few minutes early as we have some required information that we need. After that, plan to come and enjoy!
