• ‍ ‍Auburn Senior Center

  • The Auburn Senior Center was created by a group of determined seniors who felt that seniors needed a place where they could come and keep out of a rocking chair. Through lots of determination and commitment they achieved the impossible, opening a center in October of 1980 in the Dewitt Center. In 2015 the Center relocated to downtown Auburn, and then moved again in 2021 to its current location in North Auburn. Today, Auburn Senior Center has over 800 plus members from three counties: Placer, El Dorado and Nevada. Nearly half are active in daily activities including volunteering at the Center.

• ‍ ‍Friends of Auburn Library

  • In the beginning, the Friends stated purpose was to assist with the library budget and to help explain the functions of the library to the community.  After almost 70 years, the Friends of Auburn Library keep this vision clear by advocating for the library, host activities that foster learning and community awareness and raise funds to enhance collections and library goals. The programs include the monthly Used Book Sales the first Tuesday and following Saturday of each month.  

• ‍ ‍PFLAG Greater Placer County

  • PFLAG facilitates separate monthly in-person and online support groups, as well as a weekly support group for parents and allies of transgender folks. We also provide periodic programs for special topics and events. Each month, as part of our support groups, we provide a different education topic relevant to the time of year (back-to-school, coming out, etc.).  For the parents / allies of transgender folks, we provide a faith-based discussion one week, book club the next week, sharing our stories, and trans-specific education topics.  PFLAG strives to partner with other local and National organizations to educate key decision-makers about the issues that affect our loved ones and families, and to teach others how to use their voices to amplify our efforts toward a more equitable, and just world for the LGBTQ+ community.
