& Academic
Our members have cited a wide variety of motivations for joining Encore, but the most common reasons given have been; it provides educational, academic experiences and the opportunity to exercise mentally with peers with similar interests.
And that Encore provides a fun and social experiences where individuals are learning simply for the love of learning. Encore is also a meeting place where new friendships are made and developed.
