Anoka-Hennepin Community Education is dedicated to lifelong learning, involving people and enriching communities. That mission statement was developed for our department over 10 years ago, but it still rings true today. Lifelong learning Our team works hard to meet the needs and expectations of our community by providing a wide variety of classes and activities for participants to learn and grow at all ages. We found that 37 percent of participants in our classes are ages 55 and up. State demographic research notes that the number of Minnesotans turning 65 in this decade (approximately 285,000 people) will be greater than the past four decades combined. Knowing that our community is changing, we want to continue making adjustments to our programming to continue supporting lifelong learners, and we want to hear from you! Our participants shape the future of our program, and to offer the highest quality classes, we want your feedback. Learn more to get involved in this process on page 23 of this catalog. Involving people As you page through this catalog, you may notice that we are offering classes and activities at a handful of new locations, including local senior housing and assisted living facilities. These classes and activities are open for anyone to attend, as it is just one of the ways that we have been working to ensure that our classes are accessible to more of our community members, no matter what age and stage of life they are in. Socialization and stimulating the mind and body with opportunities to learn provide valuable mental and physical health benefits. We hope that these efforts will continue to enrich the communities that we live in by offering more opportunities for community integration to everyone. Enriching communities Community education programs impact our schools, businesses, organizations and our communities. Your personal impact is greater than you may realize. Our community relies on the skills and talents of people to learn and grow, and we are always looking for people to join us in supporting lifelong learners. Consider joining our team, and share your love for learning! Community education offers programs for people ages birth through adulthood.
