Established in 1966, the Williamstown Council on Aging (COA) has been providing quality service to the community for over 50 years. Our mission is to provide advocacy, outreach, and responsive programming to maintain and improve the well-being of Williamstown’s senior population. We offer diverse, inclusive programs that promote dignity, encourage activity, and community involvement.
Check out all the happenings in the monthly EVENT CALENDAR link! If school is canceled (say, for a snow day), any Council on Aging events scheduled for that day will also be canceled.
