Meaningful Life Learning Circles 2026-2027 Calendar

Young adults must be 17 years old or older to participate.

Each Session will be 6 weeks and will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00-5:30PM via Zoom

As we begin to build our adult transition pathway at Club 21, we are prioritizing the following four pillars:

1. Lifelong learning
2. Independence and Interdependence
3. Communities of belonging
4. Meaningful employment

Each of these 6-week virtual seminars will teach students tangible skills in relation to their topics with our four transition pillars at their center. 

The instruction will be conducted virtually via Zoom and will use resources from the Center for Independent Futures My Full Life curriculum in addition to supplementary materials compiled by the instructor.
