Center for Successful Aging
Life course has traditionally been seen as a linear progression, from school, work to retirement. Now, a circular life course is emerging, with education, work, and leisure being intertwined as our population ages. Yavapai College’s Division of Lifelong Learning addresses this new life course, with programs serving 5,000 adult students annually.

Osher Lifelong Learning Programs (OLLI)
OLLI offers exciting educational opportunities for older adults by challenging members to explore areas of interest in peer-supported and peer-directed learning. Members attend learning groups where they learn about and discuss a variety of topics including art, history, philosophy and religion, movies, hiking, literature, computers and much more. Best of all, there are no papers and no tests!
Osher programs awarded a 1 million dollar endowment! A first for a community college!
