Years ago, attending college was a luxury that only a few could afford. Many good jobs required only a high school diploma, or even less. Not anymore. The road to most wellpaying jobs now runs directly through college- it’s a fact! The data is clear, the more you learn. . . • The more you earn • The healthier you are • The better your children do in school • The more likely you are to vote • The more you volunteer and serve in the community However, the process of applying and going to college as an adult can be scary and overwhelming. The Maine College Transition Program was established for adult education programs to assist adults who want to go to college. Cumberland-North Yarmouth Community Education is pleased to announce that we continue to share in a state grant for a regional College Transition program with Gray and Windham Adult Education. Please contact Sarah Davis at the Cumberland Community Education at 829-2208 for more information. Questions?

You can dance this program through your life. It is presented as a dance class, learning steps, adding formations; it is progressive. It is truly serious fun, in a non-competitive atmosphere.
