Our Mission:
Community.
Explore together. Learn together. Be together.
Frisbie Senior Center is helping to build a community for Chicago’s Northwest Suburban seniors. With over 65 open programs and a 20,000-square foot, ADA-accessible facility, our mission is to bring seniors together to find new friends and stay active.
Since 1975.
With the support of the City of Des Plaines and Des Plaines Park District, the Frisbie Senior Center was formed as an organization catering to the 55+ age group. Through the efforts of our members, it’s become a one-of-a-kind facility.
Volunteer
Volunteerism is at the core of the Frisbie Senior Center’s mission, highlighting the importance of engaging older persons in socially, intellectually, and physically enriching ways. Throughout the years, volunteers have contributed billions of dollars to society through their service, helping nonprofits to expand their vision worldwide.
The Frisbie Senior Center is always on the lookout for the next great individual looking to contribute towards the Frisbie Senior Center’s community-based organization. Currently, we’re looking for volunteers to help out as instructors, facilitate our reception area, or to drive for the Meals on Wheels service.
Some roles may require individuals to complete a background check.
