Creative, Lifelong Learning

⚜️ People Program’s mission aligns with Harvard’s 85-year-long 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 a non-profit agency founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph almost 50 years ago to provide seniors with creative ways to spend leisure time, share valuable wisdom, and enjoy community.

People Program offers over 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, about 425 participants enjoy themselves at People Program each semester.

Classes are offered in person and virtually. For a flat membership fee of $200 (or $150 Zoom only), you can take as many courses as you'd like at our 3 campuses (Eastbank, Westbank & virtually by Zoom).

We invite you to join us!

Registration for the spring semester has been outstanding with over 420 participants.
