North Carolina Collaboration on Lifelong Learning and Engagement
(NCCoLLE)
The mission of the North Carolina Collaboration on Lifelong Learning and Engagement (NCCoLLE) is to foster the development of planning, policies and activities among partner organizations that will support lifelong learning and civic engagement among older adults. In particular, the Collaboration is exploring ways in which the state’s public libraries can develop new resources, services and approaches to working with older adults that will allow the growing number of baby boomers who are approaching retirement to continue to be vital contributors locally, nationally and globally.
