Having access to valuable health and safety resources in our community is part of lifelong learning, too, and our friends at Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging and St. Louis County MN Public Health have a wealth of them!

Finding health and safety resources throughout our lives is part of lifelong learning.

That’s why we’re grateful for trusted age-friendly partners like the Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging, which offers FREE webinars and one-on-one counseling to help older adults, caregivers, and families better understand their options and navigate available resources.

We’re also thankful for our partners at St. Louis County MN Public Health, for being a go-to local resource for health and wellness classes, emergency preparedness, and more.

After joining the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities in October of 2021, the Duluth Age-Friendly initiative is still going strong!

Lifelong learning is central to that vision. Because when we all have opportunities to keep growing and connecting at every stage, we're more likely to remain healthy, socially engaged, and active contributors to our community.

Join us as we celebrate and spotlight the amazing real people, partners, and possibilities that help community members continue learning at every age and stage of life across Duluth

There are AMAZING lifelong learning opportunities right here in the Northland, and they’re a big part of what helps make our community so resilient, connected, and age-friendly.

Stay tuned as we introduce you to upcoming learning events—and the committed age-friendly partners working alongside us to make Duluth a better place to learn and live for all ages.

To all our fellow “students of life,” keep your eyes on this page for new ways to plug in and LONG LIVE LEARNING!

We talk a lot about AGING around here.

Not as something to lose, fear, or resist, but as something to embrace fully, boldly, and with strength.

Because we're all AGING and there's beauty in what still lies ahead.
