U3A Yarra City
Starting in France some 40 years ago, U3A stands for University of the Third Age. The Third Age refers to the age of active retirement, following the Second Age of employment and the First Age of parental responsibility.
U3A Yarra City is one of the 109 U3As across Victoria. These groups are organised and run by volunteers providing educational, recreational and social programs. Each U3A is organised by and for people who are over 50 years and retired or semi-retired.
Our Mission is to provide opportunities for seniors to learn, teach, share and to give mutual support to each other in a friendly and warm environment, regardless or ethnicity, religion, ability or disability.
We are a lively community of people who seek learning for its own sake and for the satisfaction that it gives. Currently, we have about 500 members. Our activities are based at a range of venues across the City of Yarra.
Our courses and activities are varied: from languages, social issues, literature and play reading, arts activities, dance, walking groups and cycling. Our activities are organised by members, for members. Some talks and forums are provided in partnership with Yarra Libraries and open to the public. Prior qualifications are not required, nor are there exams.
A minimal annual membership fee entitles members to attend as many talks and courses as they wish during the year, depending on availability.
Governance
U3A Yarra City is organised by members, for members. We are an incorporated association and have a Committee of Management that meets monthly and is elected by the AGM each November. The Committee's work is supported by ex-officio members and volunteers.
