- Advocacy - KCSC serves a unique population, one where the experience of ageism and other isms intersect. Race, ethnicity, being a member of the LGBTQ community, etc., have, for many aging members of our community, in addition to inequitable access to community resources, also included the isolating and layered effects of a lifetime of systemic racism and/or marginalization. Shepherds Center, operates on a for seniors, by seniors model, and advocates for older adults by collaborating with lawmakers on public policies and funding related to healthcare, housing, community services, and transportation affecting ALL older adults, especially those who are most marginalized and lack a collective voice. KCSC works directly with state and local officials, and national organizations to ensure legislation and regulations include and prioritize ALL seniors and protect their rights in the democratic process. KCSC trains and engages older adults in self-advocacy to amplify their voices and promote aging with dignity. Peer-led leadership isExpenses $89,562
