The Boston Center for Adult Education seeks to provide educational opportunities for adults that foster personal and professional development, enhance a sense of community, and encourage social responsibility. In pursuit of these goals, the Center:
* Offers courses and programs responsive to adults' emerging needs;
* Foster cross-cultural understanding through courses, collaborations, and other outreach efforts;
* Provides access to information and ideas that help create an enlightened and involved citizenry;
* Enlists the support of well-qualified leaders, staff, and volunteers who share our mission; and,
* Offers attractive, accessible facilities, appropriate for learning and sharing ideas as a low-cost alternative to other educational programs so as to merit the continuing respect, cooperation, and support of Boston's educational, philanthropic, corporate, and neighborhood communities
From the page: "Spending your money carefully and frugally doesn't always mean giving up life's pleasures. You could stash your savings to splurge on a vacation, for more weekend getaways, or to buy a boat. Remember, stretching your budget is smart. It's savvy. It is an attitude. Embrace it and start planning that trip to Tahoe."
