U3A Sapphire Coast

U3A Sapphire Coast operates on the principle that continuous learning keeps people engaged and vital throughout life. The organisation offers courses and one-off special events, with an office at the Tura Beach Centre open Friday afternoons. The U3A welcomes members to share their skills, interests and talents by offering courses or special events, with support and resources provided by the program team.

Courses cover diverse subjects reflecting member interests, with flexible formats including weekly classes and workshop-based learning. Special events include presentations on topics such as bee keeping, health promotion, and environmental education. The organisation provides guides to offering courses and events, helping volunteers understand the process for sharing their expertise with the community.

U3A Sapphire Coast emphasises the volunteer nature of the organisation, where members both teach and learn from one another. The organisation welcomes members to take on roles as course leaders or event organisers, recognising that shared responsibility strengthens the community and expands learning opportunities.
