What is Lifelong Learning & How it Can Improve Seniors’ Lives -Jennifer Clancy, AZ

Lifelong learning is the idea that even though an individual might be out of school, their education never really ends. Lifelong learning can extend well into the senior years, and with age-appropriate, exciting and engaging topics, senior adult learners can reduce their isolation, spark their curiosity, and enhance their quality of life through one of the many interesting and engaging lifelong learning classes available online.

Jennifer Clancy of Phoenix AZ co-founded ALLE Online™ and drew her inspiration from her mother, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. In an effort to engage senior adult learners everywhere, Jennifer Clancy of AZ used her education background along with her background in technology sales and combined them to create ALLE Online™, a lifelong learning experience designed to enhance the lives of seniors living in senior living communities everywhere.
