[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our local YMCA has a vibrant coffee and workout scene for seniors. It’s lovely to see. You don’t need to be athletic to be part of that. There are a zillion dance classes of all types there, too.

I also see groups of senior women volunteering at our local gardens (think special ones like Longwood Gardens in PA). I was just at a native plant sale and the entire thing was run by a social, awesome group of mostly seniors.

Joining the board of a nonprofit you care about is another way, as long as it’s a social board. You can get a sense from the other board members what it’s like.

Baking: work PT in a bakery or coffee shop? Volunteer to teach a baking course? Do you have a chapter of Groupmuse where you live? You can host or help with house concerts.[/quote]

As someone who related to OP at age 49, she didn’t state or imply that she’s a senior.  My mom does the YMCA seniors class, and has made friends there, but she’s 78.

OP- have you considered pickleball?  It doesn’t require much athleticism.[/quote]
