SOAR Launches Its 15th Year in September

METRO DETROIT - SOAR, the Society of Active Retirees, has announced its fall line-up of more than 75 classes, outings, shared interest groups and special events.

A non-profit, non-denominational, lifelong learning program, SOAR fall series includes lectures in art, current events, dance, film, health history, literature, legal issues, opera, politics, science, sports, travel and more this fall.

SOAR is affiliated with Wayne State University (WSU) and the Road Scholar Institute Network (RSIN). The program is among more than 400 linked with RSIN across the country, and hundreds more in the U.S. and around the world. Billed as “health clubs for the brain”, these programs serve audiences who want to learn, grow and keep their minds sharp.

While the average age of participants at SOAR is 70 years, and many members are retired, SOAR membership is open to adults of any age and role in life whose common interest is lifelong learning. SOAR serves more than 1200 members from 57 communities in southeast Michigan. Most of its classes convene at Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farmington Hills or nearby locations.
