COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM (Personal Interest)
The purpose of the Community Service Program is to provide lifelong learning for adults to meet customers' needs and interests and contribute to the community's overall cultural, civic and intellectual growth. Community Service Program offerings include seminars, workshops, or other special events.

By design, the Community Service Program can serve a wide interest of the community. Program administrators can respond quickly to requests for courses that, in most instances, cannot be offered in any other area. All facets of the community can be served – ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic – and is done with the help of dedicated and creative administrators, customer-driven support staff, and quality instructors. The Program also has the flexibility to offer courses on days and times, at locations, and in formats that will best serve individual student needs.
The Community Service Program offers classes in the following areas:

Academic extension courses: Humanities, religion, languages (Spanish, Italian, and French), sign language, geography, history, genealogy, local history, and antiques/collectibles.
