⚜️  People Program’s mission aligns with Harvard’s 85-year Adult Development study, showing that personal connections are the most important factor in long-term health and happiness for seniors. ⚜️

Located in New Orleans, People Program is an educational non-profit founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph 50 years ago to provide seniors with creative ways to enjoy community, learning, and staying active.

People Program offers 175+ weekday classes in the fall, spring, and summer sessions. All instructors are volunteers interested in sharing their knowledge in a relaxed atmosphere where community building is as essential as skill development. Typically, 425 participants enjoy themselves at People Program each semester.

Where: Classes are offered in person at our Eastbank and Westbank campuses and virtually by Zoom.

Cost: For a flat membership fee of $200 per semester ($150 Zoom only), participants can take as many classes as they'd like because there is no charge for each individual class (i.e., no "per class" charge).
