What is the Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL)
of Fort Walton Beach?

Established in 1993 on the University of West Florida campus in Ft. Walton Beach, FL, the CLL provides interesting and stimulating educational activities for persons who believe that learning never ends. In addition to educational classes, the CLL organizes other activities that include local social events and occasional out-of-town trips.

Our organization is a Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) and we are affiliated with the Road Scholar. There are more than 400 similar LLIs across the country.

Unlike most LLIs, the CLL has no paid staff; all our class leaders are volunteers who have acquired their expertise through their lifelong career experiences or favorite hobbies.

In 2004, our organization was incorporated as a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt charity.

What are the costs?

Class Fees, As of January 2024:
• $20 for regular-enrollment multi-session classes
• $10 for one-time tours.


Intermittant phone problem:Sometimes callers to our office phone, (850) 863-6548, can't leave a message because it just rings on and on. If this happens to you, please hang up and email your message to us at cll@uwf.edu.
