Adventures in Learning is KC Shepherd's Center's signature lifelong learning program starting in 1972 and still thriving. This KC Shepherd's Center program relies on volunteer energy and fulfills our mission of keeping older adults mentally and physically active and engaged.

From current events to line dancing, Adventures in Learning promotes lifelong learning and cultural enrichment. Courses chosen by the participants cover a wide range of engaging topics and cultivate a rich community of active older adults who are enthusiastic about learning and building friendships.

  • I have volunteered with KC Shepherd's Center for over 10 years, doing Meals on Wheels and Medicare counseling. They are extremely supportive of their volunteers, providing ongoing communication, support, and recognition. The programs they operate to assist older adults are well-run, compassionate, and meet an important community need. The staff and leadership are top-notch with extraordinary dedication. This is a class organization.
