Our Vision

Through our educational and culturally diverse offerings and opportunities, we expand the minds and inspire the imaginations of our adult lifelong learning members plus enhance the quality of life in our community.

Our Values

We are inclusive. In all that BRCLL does, we create an atmosphere that is welcoming and open to all who want to benefit from and enjoy our programs and services.

Register for Classes

We are happy to announce that while all Lifelong Learning classes will be held on the BRCC Henderson County campus, we are also offering a few classes that will be “zoomed” simultaneously. These classes will appear in red in the newsletter and on the registration page. Prices for in person and zoom attendance is the same.

We expected to begin on-line registration in August, but until then, all registrations must be mailed in. We are unable to accept phone or on-line registrations. Please allow one week for mail to be received/processed. Provided the class isn’t canceled (very rarely – we will notify you if this happens in advance), and we haven’t reached capacity, you may also register in person 30 minutes before each class with exact cash, check, or credit card.

Volunteer

Looking for a volunteer opportunity to work with enthusiastic, dedicated and interesting people? Blue Ridge Center for Lifelong Learning is just the place for you.

Our organization is volunteer-run with minimal staff help. Volunteers are needed to help with our marketing endeavors as well as with programming and researching possible topics—to include helping to plan and develop courses. Team members brainstorm class ideas at monthly ZOOM meetings, then seek out those qualified to present to the membership. The committee meets monthly on the first Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. except  December.

Please call (828-694-1740) or email  brcll@blueridge.edu for more information.
