Shepherd's Centers of America was a forerunner in the field of meaningful aging. Beginning with one center in a small neighborhood in Kansas City...the vision of a Methodist minister and older adults in the community soon evolved into a national presence. This community was dedicated to involving older adults in volunteerism while helping others in their neighborhoods remain in their homes. It was a simple concept that the rest of the world now sees as essential to the cycle of everyone's lives. "Living a life that matters" is the mantra of all of the 60 Shepherd's Centers in the United States as well as many other organizations that now recognize that older adults with their wealth of experiences and wisdom are an invaluable resource to communities everywhere. One of the main focuses of Shepherd's Centers of America is sharing what these 60 communities have learned and help to start other centers so that older adults may continue to live meaningful lives through education and volunteerism.
