Young at Heart/50 Plus Program

Our nation is currently undergoing a demographic revolution as 78 million baby boomers enter their retirement years.

These Americans are not likely to follow in the footsteps of previous generations. Americans are healthier and living

longer, and at the same time have fewer resources to carry them through several more decades without income

from earnings. Among those who do not need to work for income, many will seek work to stay active and many

others will want to stay connected by giving back to their communities through volunteering. For the baby boomers in

the paid and volunteer workforce, and even those who will retire altogether, lifelong learning is a value. The Young

at Heart/50 Plus program at Baton Rouge Community College can connect you with what you need.
