Latino Golden Age
The Latino Golden Age Committee (LGAC) is a coalition of representatives from community-based organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life of Philadelphia’s Latino elders. Latino Golden Age was created to advocate, educate, and serve as a voice for the Latino elderly in Philadelphia. For over two decades LGAC has been serving our Latino Seniors through our yearly conference as well as our monthly workshops (Puentes de Oro) at the older adult centers. The LGAC annual educational conference is a full day of workshops, art, music, and food. It's a day we honor and celebrate our Seniors. The monthly craft sessions vary per center but they are carefully selected to help our seniors improve mental health, provide an outlet for making new friends, give them a sense of purpose and accomplishment, help improve self-confidence, reduce pain and stimulate fine motor skills as well as stimulate cognitive decline. The strength of this committee has been possible through the organizational representation of the following: Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, SeniorLaw, Aramingo Adult Day Care, Norris Square Neighborhood Project, Norris Square Older Adult Center, Attorney General’s Office, Gateway Health, Penn Nursing, and CARIE.
