Council on Aging Extends Programming at Russell Youth and Community Center

In response to community feedback and participation, the Cambridge Council on Aging will continue to offer programming for Cambridge adults age 60 and older at the Russell Youth and Community Center, 680 Huron Ave. 2nd Fl. 

During programming hours, older adults are welcome to socialize in the building's 2nd Floor Common Area. The Council on Aging will also offer drop-in walking hours on Fridays, where older adults can get exercise in a safe indoor environment.

Programming for older adults at the Russell Youth and Community Center will pause during the summer months (June through August), when the building will host Cambridge Youth Programs’ summer programs for pre-teens and middle schoolers.
