Friends of Poway Seniors

About

  The Poway Valley Senior Citizens Corporation was formed in 1974 and it is still here today. It has been quite a journey. 

We are no longer the Poway Senior Center and our mission and vision have changed. However, our passion to positively impact lives has not wavered.

Please join us on our New journey as the Friends of Poway Seniors. We look forward to meeting you and serving our community in new and exciting ways.
