Boomer U at Ambler SAAC provides a welcoming place where baby boomers and the boomer-minded can discover a variety of resources to volunteer, pursue civic engagement, re-career and find employment, as well as engage in lifelong learning, embark on healthy lifestyles and enjoy social connections in a community for all ages.

Boomer U's mission is to create and cultivate opportunities that empower boomers to think differently and more creatively than previous generations about mid-life options and provide a catalyst for action. Boomer U will provide the resources and connections for people in midlife to rediscover who they are and what they want to do in their "bonus years" —the 30 years beyond what is considered traditional "retirement."

Boomer U is designed to respond to the unique aging trends of boomers and assist them with the transition to another life stage—that of meaningful retirement and individual renewal.
