Institute Mission/Philosophy
- Members can have a significant involvement in the decision-making process. Members typically have a central voice in determining curriculum, recruiting new members, and financing the institute.
- L.I.F.E. functions with structures (bylaws, fees, committees) that create an entity with identity and purpose.
- L.I.F.E. membership fees and class fees are kept as modest as possible. The fees are used to cover instructors honorariums and office overhead costs related to insurance, postage, printing, facility use, etc.
- We are a non-profit organization like 350 other Lifetime Learning Institutes in North America. We believe learning is a lifelong pursuit that opens minds and enriches lives. We believe sharing new ideas, challenges and experiences is rewarding in every season of life. Our participants come from every walk of life to learn together, to exchange ideas, and to explore the world.
- L.I.F.E. offers unique educational experiences, infused with the spirit of camaraderie and adventure, that enrich and enhance the lives of its participants.
