How Does CALL Operate?

CALL is unlike most lifelong learning organizations.

• We are completely independent, having no association with any educational institution.
• Our members suggest activities and groups based on their interests, curiosities, passions, and experiences.
• We offer year-round innovative and affordable learning opportunities. The website and regular e-mail newsletters inform members of the nature and meeting times and places of interest groups, as well as upcoming CALL activities.
• We depend on members who volunteer to take on roles in administration, co-ordination and implementation of programs.
• We always welcome new members and encourage everyone to volunteer.

Why Join CALL?

With a low annual membership fee of $50, you can choose from more than 50 Interest Groups and monthly Speaker Events.

We Offer Unique Volunteer Opportunities

CALL thrives on volunteers who make a difference by sharing their experiences, interests, hobbies, skills and talents. Every volunteer has a story that makes the programs offered by CALL diverse, educational, interesting and fun, enriching people’s lives. There are endless possibilities as a volunteer with CALL and you are invited to bring good things to other members by contributing one time, on a short term or ongoing basis. This is your opportunity to engage in meaningful activity while pursuing lifelong learning.

Please email our Volunteer Coordinator. We would be happy to talk about opportunities and forward your interest to the appropriate person!
