National Organization

A.L.L. is one of over 375 Lifelong Learning Institutes in Retirement (LLIs) in North America, affiliated with the Elderhostel Institute Network (EIN), a branch of Elderhostel.

Elderhostel's mission is to provide educational experiences for older adults. The institutes are distinct from the Elderhostel travel program in that they are based in local communities throughout North America, and their membership determines the curriculum they offer. Each LLI is usually sponsored by a nearby college or university.

The Elderhostel Institute Network provided invaluable advice and support in establishing A.L.L. in 1992, and the Academy has remained an EIN member in the New England region since that date. A.L.L. members and staff have attended and volunteered as presenters at several regional and national EIN conferences.
