Welcome to the Woburn Senior Center

The Woburn Council on Aging(COA) is a municipal, volunteer board appointed by the mayor. It is the responsibility of the COA to identify the needs of Woburn’s elder population. The COA provides resources to educate the community at large regarding the needs of the elderly. This is done by designing, promoting and implementing needed programs and services.

The Woburn Council on Aging provides:

  • Information
  • Referrals
  • Outreach
  • Advocacy
  • Transportation
  • Health screening
  • Nutrition
  • Education
  • Peer support
  • Recreation
  • Volunteer development
  • Intergenerational programming

The City of Woburn is committed to full participation of persons with disabilities in our programs, services and activities.  All activities are handicap accessible. Call 781-897-5960 for further details view the monthly newsletter online at: ourseniorcenter.com/find/woburn-senior-center
