Adult Leisure Learning Center

The San Antonio College Adult Leisure Learning Center (SAC ALLC) opens next Spring! Modeled after the very successful Academy for Learning In Retirement (ALIR) program run through the Northeast Independent School District, the SAC ALLC is built on a belief in lifelong learning. Like ALIR, the ALLC at SAC will utilize its members’ volunteerism to involve a variety of abilities and wealth of life experiences.

SAC ALLC classes will be of interest to persons ages 50 and over, ranging from art and politics to mental and physical exercise, as well as workshops such as “How to Navigate Medicaid” and “Caring for Elderly Parents.” The $75 quarterly fee will let participants enroll in an unlimited number of classes, based on space availability.

This Spring the SAC ALLC invites volunteers to help develop the program, teach, and recruit members.
