What is the purpose of Alumni Groups?
The purpose of Elderhostel Alumni Groups is provide Elderhostelers with
the opportunity to continue their Elderhostel experience in their local
communities after their educational adventure is completed. Elderhostel
operates like a large college or university offering 10,000 educational
programs worldwide. Unlike traditional educational institutions, however,
our "students" do not come to our "campus" but rather take classes in
more than 100 countries around the globe. Through the establishment of
the Elderhostel Alumni Association, we hope to promote continuing friendship
among our program participants and strengthen the relationship between
our constituents and the Elderhostel organization.
What do Alumni Groups do?
Elderhostelers gather in local Alumni Groups in their communities
to share Elderhostel experiences. At their meetings, groups may choose
to have a member of the group speak about a recent Elderhostel program
experience. They may invite a member of Elderhostel's staff or a program
provider to make a presentation or they may schedule a local expert
to give a lecture on topic of shared interest. |
