Always Active is a popular senior exercise and community gathering that has seen much success in other parts of the city. Inner Sunset resident and former Inner Sunset Park Neighbors board member Judy Goddess has secured funds for this program through both District 5 (formerly London Breed’s office now Vallie Brown) and District 7 Norman Yee’s office to bring Always Active to the Inner Sunset. The program relies on a “community connector” to reach out to the community and invite them to the program as well as design the activities and classes. This is project of Community Living Campaign which organizes to help individuals age in the community. St John of God church at 5th Ave and Irving will be the location for the program.
Once the community connector has been hired, the program schedule will be announced. If you are interested in this position, please see the post below.
