The Third Age Universities (TAUs) have been operating in Poland for over thirty years. Their goal is to keep their students active, in a broad sense: intellectually, physically, and socially. The purpose of this article is to present various organizational forms of TAUs, and the forms and content of their cooperation with other institutions. TAUs' cooperation aims at improving their operations and quality of life of their students. It also aims at supporting other groups, both inside and outside the local community. The following hypothesis can be put forward: TAUs are becoming a significant tool of carrying out social policies to help the elders.
