We are never too young, too old or too busy to learn a new thing.

"Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another."

It seems there is forever that something that we have always wanted to learn, but never found the time. There is never a better time than now. Yavapai College's Community Education department creates opportunities for learning both in and out of the classroom regardless of age or ability and in formats to fit every kind of schedule.

In the Classroom
Do you want to learn how to use a computer, take great photos, cook and live healthier, belly dance, shoot a pistol, appreciate beer, talk to animals? We offer all these great classes and more. Register online now at www.yc.edu/ce!

Out of the Classroom
Is travel your bag? Edventures will get you out to see the world. Whether you have one day or two weeks, we'll get you packing. Check out our fall offerings at www.yc.edu/edv and find out how you can retreat to Sedona, hike the Mogollon Rim, drive to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, walk in the sky, cruise the Greek Isles and much more! Archaeology, geology, natural history, birding, boating...we'll get your brain and your body moving!
