Our Purpose

WHO ARE WE?

The first Australian U3A commenced in 1984 and U3A Nunawading was established in 1990 to deliver learning programmes and activities to its members.

U3A Nunawading is a non-profit community organisation run entirely by volunteers with support from the City of Whitehorse and State/Federal Governments.

The Third Age refers to the age of active retirement. It follows the Second Age of employment and parental responsibility and preceeds the Fourth Age of dependence. Our members are mostly matured age retired or semi-retired individuals wishing to pursue areas of personal interest.

All classes and activities are delivered and administered by member volunteers ensuring the affordability of our programmes.

MISSION STATEMENT

To provide opportunities for members of the Third Age generation to make creative and productive use of their leisure time through teaching, learning and development programmes and to provide facilities as may be needed for that purpose.

To extend such opportunities and facilities to all persons of the Third Age for the employment of their knowledge and the widening of their intellectual and social horizons.

To promote and support the concept and objectives of the Third Age learning.

VISION

U3A Nunawading meets the demand for learning and development opportunities by the retired and
semi-retired within our community, in a centralised campus by 2015.
