- Forever Learning is northern Indiana's largest education non-profit for students aged 50+. Our teachers are all volunteers and share the gift of their time and knowledge simply for the joy of life-long learning. There are no tests or grades, and no previous knowledge required, simply a passion to continue learning and growing.
  
  Forever Learning clearly demonstrates that through service to others and the love of learning we can create a full and rich community. In 2025 we saw a record 4,346 class enrollments, in 325 different learning and travel opportunities, with a record number of free classes and scholarships offered.
