United Seniors of Oakland and Alameda County

The USOAC is a grassroots, multi-ethnic, intergenerational nonprofit organization focused on issues of concern to Alameda County seniors and their allies. USOAC utilizes techniques to educate, mobilize and enable seniors and their supporters to address the issues that affect their quality of life. In 1986, USOAC started organizing seniors and their allies to address shrinking resources for older adults at both the local and regional levels. For more than 25 years USOAC has helped to empower older adults throughout Alameda County by serving as a catalyst for a positive change and contributing to the betterment of senior citizens and the broader community. USOAC collaborates with the disabled communities, youth, senior service providers and others. USOAC has more than 5,000 individual members, chapter and affiliates throughout Alameda County. Our Mission is to provide institutional support for Seniors, to collectively participate in the public arena, to act from a position of strength, to enable the elderly to address the critical issues, and to change the conditions that impact their lives.
