Hart Senior Center Computer Learning Center

The Ethel Macleod Hart Multipurpose Senior Center- a place for those over fifty in the greater Sacramento area. Here you can enjoy a cup of coffee in our sunlit lobby while browsing through the day’s activities, chat with our friendly staff, meet other people, and enjoy lunch in the Friendship Cafe. Whether you’re 50 or 90 we have something to offer you through our many leisure enrichment activities and supportive services.

The computer learning center is one of the activities offered here. We have seven computer workstations and many classes offered by instructor volunteers. We get some of our support from SeniorNet, but most of our funding comes from student fees and donations from companies and individuals which allow us to continually upgrade our equipment and services. Please visit our donor page and thank those individuals and companies for their contributions to our community.
