WaLLi at WSCC WaLLi is a membership program that is based on member participation and volunteerism which fuels for the success of WaLLi. This academic cooperative provides mature adults with opportunities to learn new things, make friends, travel and embrace life.

Courses are taught by volunteers who share their knowledge and passions.

Besides broadening your knowledge, research has shown that adults who stay active intellectually are also healthier and more socially balanced. There are other studies that state that keeping your brain busy helps fight off effects of age on memory and perception and may possibly slow the development of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
