Since opening on March 12, 2006, Levine Senior Center has built its work around a mission of empowering seniors 50 and older to reimagine aging through active, purposeful living, inclusivity, dignity, and community connections. The center organizes its work around five pillars known as THRIVE: trying new skills through classes and enrichment, building health and wellness through fitness and prevention programs, fostering relationships and community, providing information and support through resources and screenings, and offering social activities, events, and arts programs. Community-centered offerings include the Veterans Canteen program. The leadership team includes Executive Director Dahn Jenkins, Program Director Christiana Walters, Office Coordinator Delores Neely, Maintenance Coordinator Calvin Saletta, and Rental Event Coordinator Thomas Dougherty, working alongside a 2026 Board of Directors chaired by Cecile Reed.

The center sits on Devore Lane, just off Matthews Township Parkway and about half a mile from East Independence Boulevard. Windsor Park is roughly 0.6 miles away, David W. Butler High School is within 0.8 miles, and Matthews-Mint Hill Road is also nearby.

Two decades after its founding, Levine Senior Center continues to anchor aging-adult programming in Matthews through its certified Center of Excellence designation and its combination of wellness, education, and social offerings.
