MAKING A DIFFERENCE
It’s all a part of being here
From committees and councils to volunteering or joining the Board, we’re proving that retirement has very little to do with retiring—and everything to do with doing. There is a wide range of opportunities for Members to participate and make a difference.
Social Accountability
Give back to your community.
In addition to pursuing their own interests, Members are generous with their time and skills to continue to make Terwilliger Plaza, and the broader community, a place to thrive into the future.
The Foundation
Enhance quality of life for Members and staff.
Through generous donations, the Foundation funds projects and initiatives that reflect the needs of the community and maintain quality of life for Terwilliger Plaza Members.
