Soon to Be Back

Until COVID restrictions in 2020 stopped all in-person meetings, our CLL Computer Club had been active. Some former Club members asked that the club now resume operation. We will do that in January 2024. Click on the Online Registration link in the banner above to locate and view a description of our future plans.


Winter 2024 Semester Special Events

The Board of Directors has decided to hold only two noontime special events during the semester. One will be our required annual membership meeting on Thursday, February 15th. The other will be our traditional Final Follies on Friday, March 8th.


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.
