Donations: SAIL would like to thank all the students and others for their donations in response to our plea. Because of the outpouring of generosity, we are back on solid financial ground. However, going forward we still need your donations, in addition to registration fees, to stay in good financial condition. So, when you register (on-line or manually) please consider a donation. We thank you for your generosity.

Senior Adventures in Learning (SAIL) of Melbourne is an interfaith, not-for-profit organization that serves senior adults (50+) throughout Brevard County. Local churches and synagogues sponsor this organization and some provide a campus where these learning opportunities take place.
Participants have fun learning Spanish, studying history, discussing current events and foreign affairs, writing novels, exercising, playing games and much more! The instructors for all of these activities and classes are mostly seniors themselves, using the valuable skills that they have cultivated throughout their lifetime.
SAIL is a ministry by and with older adults rather than just a ministry to them. The participants feel a sense of ownership as they set their own course. SAIL rejects the myth that senior citizens are frail, lonely and dependent. People of all faiths work together in SAIL to help older adults sustain and celebrate life!
The primary purpose of SAIL is to enrich the later years with opportunities for service to others, self-expression, meaningful work, and close friendships. An equally important goal is to help older adults remain independent in their own living situation as long as they choose.
There are three terms each year (Winter, Spring, and Fall). Programs are conducted two days a week and run for eight weeks.
