About us


Penobscot Valley Senior College has been offering fun, stimulating courses to seniors for nearly 20 years. An all-volunteer organization, we are open to everyone over 50.

We offer a rich variety of six-week classes in topics from Art to Zoology, and everything in between. Our courses are designed especially for seniors. Instructors are volunteer experts in their fields and create casual, interactive classroom environments.

Classes are held in Bangor-area facilities chosen for easy access and parking.

One-Day Events are another feature of PVSC. Every month or so, including summers, we offer one-time sessions on wide-ranging topics of special interest, usually two hours. Topics have included such things as medical and scientific information, tours of interesting local sites, and special presentations by local notables.

We are supported by the Bangor YMCA and the Maine Center on Aging.
