What does the YC-LLI Craft Club look like?

It looks a lot like creativity, conversation, and community.

Every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to noon, members gather with their craft of choice, watercolors, knitting, card-making, quilting, and more. While everyone works on their own project, the real magic happens through the sharing of ideas, inspiration, and friendship.

Whether you're an experienced artist or simply enjoy creating, the Craft Club is a welcoming space. Pull up a chair and join us on Tuesdays!

What makes the Lifelong Learning Initiative at York College truly stand out?

At YC-LLI, learning goes beyond the subject matter, it's about learning directly from the exceptional faculty of York College. Our members have the unique opportunity to engage, in person, with accomplished professors, researchers, and subject-matter experts who bring their knowledge and passion into the classroom.

Take Dr. Rory Kraft, whose course, It's Complicated: S*x, Gender, and the Limits of What We Were Taught, challenged assumptions and inspired participants to explore new perspectives. Experiences like these are what make YC-LLI special.

✨Are there particular York College faculty members or academic subjects you'd like to see featured at YC-LLI? We'd love to hear your ideas in the comments!

Everyone has a different reason for being part of YC-LLI. For some, it's the opportunity to learn something new through our courses. For others, it's joining clubs. And for many, it's the friendships and connections that make YC-LLI feel like a community.

No matter what brought you here, we're glad you're part of it. What's your "why" at YC-LLI? Let us know in the comments!

What a fantastic day to explore York!

Twenty-two walkers set out on a beautiful journey along the Rail Trail, traveling from Grantley Road to King Street before making our way to Royal Square. Along the route, we were joined by Tom Gibson, York’s self-proclaimed “Town Crier,” who brought the city’s rich history to life.

Our adventure concluded at Mural Park, followed by a delicious lunch at Collusion.

The day was filled with great conversation, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation for the history, culture, and hidden gems of Downtown York, PA!
