Adventures in Learning

Adventures in Learning is KC Shepherd's Center's signature lifelong learning program, powered entirely by volunteers and designed to keep older adults mentally and physically active, engaged, and connected.

Courses are chosen by participants themselves, covering everything from current events and technology to line dancing and classical music. Topics vary each session, so there's always something new to explore.

Beyond the classes, Adventures in Learning builds a real community, a group of older adults who share a love of learning, exploring, and building new friendships.
