Course proposal
Thank you for your interest in teaching a class at the Sebastopol Area Senior Center (SASC). We hold a variety of classes, lectures and workshops. Our instructors are a vital part of our senior center and we are always open to new class ideas. We are always looking to add new programs to the Senior Center.
Below is information about our organization, instructor requirements and a course proposal. Once we receive your proposal we will be in touch to confirm with you the arrangements.
About Sebastopol Area Senior Center
SASC is an 501(c)(3) independent non-profit organization. Our mission is to create and maintain an environment that encourages independence for older adults by providing learning, social, and recreational opportunities in the continuing pursuit of a fulfilling and healthy life. We welcome people of all ages; however, we focus our programming on older adults aged 55+.
Unlike many other senior centers, SASC is not a part of the City’s Parks and Recreation Department, as Sebastopol does not have a Parks and Rec Department. To remain an integral part of our community, SASC relies on income from membership fees, private donations, grants (both private and governmental), special events and fundraisers, program fees, and from income from The Legacy, our retail operation specializing in the resale of crafting items.
