Our Story
Since 1973, Powell Senior Citizens Ago-Go, Inc. (Powell Senior Center) has served adults age 60+ in Powell, Wyoming, and the surrounding rural communities of Willwood, Ralston, Garland, and Clark.
We are a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to empowering individuals in our community to live independently. We provide a welcoming space where seniors can socialize and access educational, nutritional, and physical wellness resources—all in one place. For those unable to visit the center, we bring services directly to their homes.
Our programs are designed to support independence. As one client shared, “I would not be able to make any of my weekly appointments without the rides from the Senior Citizens’ Bus.”
Reliable transportation is essential to maintaining health and connection. Our ADA-accessible vehicles ensure seniors and community members can reach our center, as well as local businesses, services, and medical appointments. We take pride in offering service that is helpful, kind, polite, and prompt—qualities our riders consistently value.
Collaboration is key to our impact. We partner with organizations that share our mission, including Park County Public Health, the Department of Family Services, the Powell Police Department, local medical providers, and the Adult Protective Services team. Together, we provide more comprehensive and effective support to our community.
Our programs and transportation services are funded through a combination of grants and local support. Primary funding comes from Title III grants under the Older Americans Act, administered by the Wyoming Department of Health Aging Division/Community Living Section. Additional support is provided by the Wyoming Senior Services Board, Park County Commissioners, the City of Powell, the Wyoming Department of Transportation, and the Wyoming Community Foundation. We also rely on local fundraising efforts, which strengthen both our resources and our connection to the community.
