Amava Launches “Amava Learns” to Deliver Purpose and Connection Through Continuing Education Opportunities

Includes Live Online Classes for Personal and Professional Development

Amava, the leading platform connecting a new generation of empty nesters and active retirees with jobs, volunteer opportunities and unique experiences, has expanded its offerings to include hundreds of new instructor-led classes and self-paced courses.

Many Amava members are Baby Boomers and Gen Xers interested in learning new skills, pursuing interests and hobbies or just challenging themselves. In a recent Amava poll of more than 175,000 households, 60% of the respondents chose “learning something new” as a top priority. Besides the obvious benefit of attaining knowledge, continuing education is a great way to expand the mind, find new purpose and establish new social connections.

Amava’s initial offerings include classes that help members extend or reboot their careers and classes that enable them to pursue their interests. Popular classes include learning to jam on the guitar, cook like Carla Hall, give a great speech, write the perfect resume, run a nonprofit and many more.
