Senior Learning Resources
Lifelong learning is, for many Seniors, an ongoing quest that encourages and
supports a healthy lifestyle. Whether your interests include restoring old
boats, debating politics or philosophy, running that extra mile today,
googling a news item, planting the latest hybrid shrub, traveling to
Beijing, enjoying the local arts scene or tasting a just-released wine
varietal, there are always new things to learn.
Social, business, educational and volunteer organizations that contribute to
lifelong learning abound in every community. In addition to those named on
the Volunteer Opportunities page of this website, other Northwest
organizations are listed below for your exploration.
