DIRECTOR SEARCH

Friends of Cary Senior Center (FoCSC) is looking for people to serve on their Board of Directors.

You may have heard of Friends from some of the activities we sponsor at the Cary Senior Center, like the October 2025 Anniversary celebration, the Spring and Summer food drives or serving hot dogs at the Canteen during the Arts & Crafts Fair each November, or even noticed our photos over the FriendsTable in the lobby.

Want to know more? If you think you might be interested, please read our Mission and Objectives below:
