Joining New Frontiers

New and returning New Frontiers members

New Frontiers for Lifelong Learning (NFLL) is a Mesa Community College (MCC) non-credit, community education program designed by and for our active senior community.

With over 225 active participants, NFLL members serve as MCC ambassadors to our growing community of active adult learners; providing peer-led classes (in person and online), social events, volunteer opportunities, and physical activities like hiking, biking, and walking groups.

The Annual Membership Enrollment fee is $80. Your enrollment is good for the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters – September 1st to August 31st.

With this fee, members may attend as many in-person and online classes or social events as they wish. Some classes may have fees for supplies, and social events are normally pay-your-way.

A vast majority of new and returning New Frontiers members enjoy the convenience of completing the Annual Membership Enrollment form.

After submitting the form, you will receive communication in 2 to 5 days about paying the enrollment fee and how to register for NFLL classes.
