If the Edward King House Senior Center had to pick a favorite shape, it would undoubtedly be a circle. The beauty of a circle is that it is not linear. Because there is no singular or straight path to enrichment and engagement, the Third Circle offers yet another way for older adults to engage, learn, and build community. Building upon our in-person Circle of Scholars, the Third Circle will provide enrichment opportunities on a digital platform. All Third Circle programs, classes, and events will be presented virtually and online, using ZOOM or other digital platforms. Third Circle content will maintain the same level of high quality and innovation as any of our in-person programs.        
To meet the unique challenges of serving older adults with online instruction, the Edward King House Senior Center in collaboration with community parnters
has expanded digital educational programming by offering programs like those listed below strictly online.
