Learning in the community, education for all.

We offer, free liberal arts courses for people who have experienced barriers achieving educational goals.

University in the Community (UitC) is an initiative of a charitable, non-profit organization called the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA).

Our program strengthens the mutual benefits of bringing the university into the community, and the community into the university.
