Choose from 120 classes this fall semester for just $35.

New Knowledge Adventures (NKA) is a lifelong continuing education program for older adults designed to offer exceptional learning, exploration and fellowship opportunities in a comfortable and non-competitive academic surrounding.

Supported by Idaho State University, AARP Idaho and the Treasure Valley Family YMCA, NKA represents the most affordable learning opportunity for the 50 plus in the Treasure Valley. For just $35 participants can sign up for an unlimited number of classes.

“This program has really grown over the years. We're now in our sixth semester and offering some amazing classes,” said Cathy McDougall, AARP Outreach Director. “Our volunteer instructors have done a remarkable job designing and teaching the courses.”

In conjunction with university staff, volunteers provide leadership and complete management of all courses and curriculums. Volunteers develop classes based upon member interests, talents and feedback.

“Our goal is to offer the most engaging, affordable and fun continuing education opportunity for the 50+ in the Treasure Valley,” said McDougall.

Registration for the Fall 2017 semester begins August 22.
