Description
The Hanover Township Senior Center was dedicated on April 2, 2005. It is a visible symbol of the support that this community has for its elders. A Senior Tax Referendum, "Support Our Seniors," was passed in November 2002 thanks to our seniors whose dedication and hard work incited its passage. This Referendum allowed for the construction and maintenance of a new Senior Center. Opperman Architects, Inc. and contractor, Lamp, Inc. worked along with our Supervisor, Clerk, Board of Trustees and staff to achieve a dream that benefits all adults, age 55 and over, who live in Hanover Township.
The Senior Services Department offers a wide variety of advantages to the seniors who live in our Township. We offer transportation, recreational programs and trips, social services as well as many opportunities for volunteerism.

Requirements
Perhaps the most important aspect of long life is how a person eats. The Culinary Arts Intern would be able to provide nutritional counseling, educational sessions, and small cooking classes that would inform older adults how to adapt to their changing lives.
A wide variety of arts and humanities classes are conducted at the senior center. As an intern, you will have the opportunity to instruct, facilitate group study, and offer workshops using state of the art equipment and supplies. We look for interns that have a desire to meet the needs of the center, as well as, offer the older adult a unique experience
