Welcome to the Woburn Senior Center
The Woburn Senior Center is home to The Woburn Council on Aging(WCOA). The WCOA is a municipal, volunteer board appointed by the mayor. It is the responsibility of the WCOA to identify the needs of Woburn’s elder population. The WCOA and the staff of the Woburn Senior Center provide 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.
