Starting a Group

Opportunities for lifelong, continuous learning that is geared to older adults, not only benefit individuals, but also whole communities. That’s why Third Age Network (TAN) believes that older adults in all parts of the province should have access to lifelong learning, whether online or in person in their community, where there is also the added benefit of social interaction.

There are many parts of the province where such opportunities are limited. If you are interested in starting a new group, there are several ways that TAN can help, including providing practical advice and supportive mentorship to:

LLIR Classroom1
  • Establish a working group or partner with an existing organization
  • Develop an initial resource base
  • Establish the type of programming you would like to provide
  • Find speakers
  • Build a member or subscriber base and recruit volunteers
  • Grow and formalize your working group into a sustainable organization

Newly developing groups are welcome to become TAN members for no fee in their first year and receive access to a start-up manual and other TAN resources.
