The Ed Brown Senior Center's programs reach out to the community at large to help young and old live happier, fuller lives:

Community Services & Agencies

Rancho Benardo offers a wide range of services to our residents. Click here to take a look at our new (and growing) list of local services and agencies.

SHOK (Seniors Helping Our Kids)

This is your chance to help bridge the generations. Come volunteer for just an hour each week at a local elementary school. It's fun, and rewarding, and absolutely no special background is needed. In fact, the only thing you need to do this well is a desire to share. A sense of humor helps, too. Contact Jane Radatz today for more information at 858-485-5449.

Play Readers Theater

Along with performing at the Center, these talented thespians take their show on the road to entertain residents at many assisted living and retirement communities in the area.
