Vital Living


Vital Living supports older adults by providing a variety of well-being programs and caregiver services in-person and online. Opportunities to learn, socialize, and volunteer are happening on the phone, online, and in-person. Vital Living believes that a connected intergenerational community is important for all of us. Our volunteers are ages 6-90+ and we support intergenerational experiences and mutual learning opportunities.

Well-being classes include: Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance, online Practice Tai Ji, A Matter of Balance Fall Prevention, mental health seminars, Vital Fitness, and our Connect 2 Tech Classes.

Technology Education Classes for Older Adults: We offer technology education classes as well as one-to-one tech support through our Connect 2 Tech program. In addition to those classes, we partnered with Senior Planet from AARP to offer their curriculum to our community at no cost. The Senior Planet Tech Classes are offered in-person throughout the year on Mondays from 11:00am to 12:30pm. Our one-to-one tech support time is on Wednesdays from 11:00am to 12:30pm. If you are interested, please contact us to let us know you plan to come beforehand.

Caregiver Services include: one-to-one support, LGBTQ caregiver support group, and NE Day Spot - a weekly in-person respite program for people caring for others experiencing memory loss or other chronic conditions. Consultations and meetings are on Zoom, over the phone, and in-person.

Explore ideas and meet others across Minnesota in our statewide monthly book club. Find answers to your tech questions through our Connect to Tech events and classes.
