Program Details

Cell-Ed Learning Circles

(available at designated sites)

Learning Circles invite residents to learn together and build a community. For Cell-Ed Learning Circles, MidPen site staff set up a physical space where residents can do Cell-Ed courses for ten weeks. Staff also provide snacks and make sure the space is comfortable for learning. At the end of ten weeks, residents get a certificate to show their achievement.
