If you are an active adult with a desire to never stop learning, then we invite you to take part in NCI’s LIFE (Learning Is ForEver) program. This lifelong learning initiative is made possible by the generous support of Barbara Matthews, a wonderful example of the pursuit of learning and wisdom. We invite you to participate in the various learning opportunities made available throughout the year – all of which are designed to be engaging, enlightening, and interesting. Any adult is welcome to participate in our programs. There are no prerequisites. All you need is an interest in sharing an educational experience. Every course is designed to foster lively, fun engagement with a focus on topics and resources available in Martinsville and Henry County.
