Mission

We are a 21st-century bilingual, valley-wide center for active living. Our programs and services meet people where they are. We create spaces for mature adults to meet friends and families, exercise their minds and bodies, access resources, and give back through volunteerism. We don’t age here; we thrive here. We promote healthy living, independence, and wellness by stimulating the body and mind in an open-minded and inclusive environment. Hang out. Make friends. Be connected.

Notes from the nonprofit

Our organization has committed to the Edmundo & Herlinda Carrillo Equity in Aging Initiative, a community outreach program designed to transition Cathedral City Senior Center into a bilingual community center better reflecting the Valley, and Cathedral City's 60% Hispanic population. Over two years, the agency moved from all English-language programming to offering one-third of all programming in Spanish, added two Spanish-speakers to staff, has a Spanish-speaking outreach coordinator in the field such that Hispanic participation has increased more than 35%.

Data
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
