All Programs

Our program is designed to be sure that all Seniors in Cobb County especially those in Senior Living Facilities are aware of their rights to vote in all elections and are able to get and submit absentee ballots. These activities include reaching out to seniors to be sure they are aware of their registration status and the ability to use the absentee ballots available for elections.

The Senior Citizen Council of Cobb provides funding for up to 2 students each year to participate in the Gerontology program at Kennesaw University. The elderly population will more than double between 2000 and 2030. By 2030, one in every four individuals will be over age 65 (U.S. Census Bureau). Why Gerontology? According to a recent article in the AJC, services for the elderly and disabled is the third-fastest growing job industry in Georgia with a growth of 56% in the past six years.

The motto of the Senior Citizen Council of Cobb is to KEEP COBB SENIORS CONNECTED. We do this by keeping current events that are of interest to Cobb seniors updated and providing a monthly BULLETIN to our membership. We also maintain a social media presence on Facebook and Instagram. Our website is updated weekly for postings on topics of interest to Cobb seniors and Senior Veterans
