African American Cultural
Diversity Program
The
primary goal for the cultural diversity program is to reduce isolation for
African American senior adults. The program identifies the barriers that
prevent African American seniors from accessing community services and
assists in removing these obstacles. Programs center around socialization
and building a sense of community. African American seniors increase their
knowledge of community resources and become comfortable attending community
events. All African American senior adults (55 years and older) who reside
in Dane County are welcome to attend.
