Education for Older Adults
SCOSA offers educational, socialization, and recreation programs for older adults (60 and over) that encourage vitality through physical, social, mental and spiritual engagement.
COVID-19 Precautions: SCOSA's programs are being offered in-person (masks recommended, and Stockton Health Pledge required), and/or online via Zoom. SCOSA complies with Stockton guidelines. CLICK HERE for the latest from Stockton. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) provides useful information for everyone. (CLICK HERE)
SCOSA programs are partially funded under Title III of the Older Americans Act of
1965, as amended, through grants from the Atlantic County Division of Intergenerational
Services, Cape May County Department of Aging And Disability Services, and the Ocean
County Office of Senior Services. Each funding source requires us to collect basic
demographic information from our participants. The NJ Division of Aging Services
also compels us to inform participants about their Privacy and Non-Discrimination
policies, available for review by Clicking Here.
SCOSA gladly accepts voluntary donations. Such donations are not a fee and are not
required. Donations are used to develop and operate future programs. To donate directly
to SCOSA please make checks payable to SCOSA and send them to: SCOSA/SOBL, Stockton
University, 101 Vera King Farris Drive, Galloway, NJ 08205-9441. Please indicate if
you need your donation to potentially be tax deductible. If so, we will put it into
one of our Foundation funds; if not, we will deposit into a revenue account that directly
supports our operating expenses.
