Community Center for Vital Aging
The mission of the Community Center for Vital Aging (or CCVA for short) is to enhance the lives of older adults in the Muncie/Delaware County community through creative, cultural, and intergenerational programs that promote wellness throughout the lifespan.

Our programs are primarily for adults over 50 who are interested in maintaining healthy, active lifestyles, and want to learn new skills (we like to say we put the "plus" in 50+!).

We're all aging - it's an inescapable fact. But for people 50 and older, it's especially important to stay physically and mentally active. The Community Center for Vital Aging can help you do just that. Bring your friends along for bridge... computer classes...or even try line dancing! Many of our classes and seminars are free; however, several require a low fee.

Please call us at (765) 289-4541 to register or, just stop by - we'd love to meet you! We're located on the second floor of the Cornerstone Center for the Arts building in downtown Muncie.
