Greetings to all York County Senior College Members and Supporters
As you all know, after 26 years YCSC is planning to go Inactive as of December 31, 2025. We’ve chosen ‘Inactive’ with an eye to the possibility that within the not-too-distant future, a team of younger, energetic seniors - eager to keep learning - might assume the YCSC reins.
To ease the post-December 31 blues of those wishing to stay connected to lifelong learning, the following is information on the availability of other senior colleges throughout Maine - the primary resource being the Maine Senior College Network which encompasses all of Maine’s 16 senior colleges, from York & Wells to Machias & Presque Isle, their locations and websites. To check out the Network, go to: https://www.maineseniorcollege.org
For our York County area, we suggest you contact South Coast Senior College, located in Wells. The South Coast SC Chairperson, Sandy Kaan would be pleased to have you join them. South Coast SC uses CourseStorm, the same registration/catalog platform as used by YCSC – so that process would be familiar to you. SCSC and YCSC have shared several classes over the years, as well as having shared some instructors, so you may find familiar faces as well.

Chairperson Sandy Kaan email address: [email protected]
We urge you all to register with one of the senior colleges - lifelong learning is so very important. The senior colleges offer programs and activities that provide intellectual stimulation and social interaction much like YCSC has offered.
It has been a work of love for learning for all of us on the York County Senior College team over these many years. May you continue to enjoy many years of successful “Lifelong Learning”.
On behalf of York County Senior College,
Jane Carlson, Chairperson
