HAMILTON HOUSE
An Adult Learning Exchange
Greetings:
Hamilton House welcomes you with great pleasure. As a member, you will enjoy many unique experiences, benefits, and associations with other members interested in exploring what Hamilton House offers. We are current and aware of the needs and interests of folks who have experienced life’s journey and want to continue to nurture and enrich mind and body. There is something unique about Hamilton House that can’t be put into words. Find out for yourself – you are always welcome.
About Us
Hamilton House, Adult Learning Exchange, is located on Providence’s East Side in a French Chateau-style home listed on the National Register. It is a generous and elegant setting where new friendships are formed and old friendships flourish. Hamilton House, a self-supporting, non-profit 501C charitable organization, offers educational and cultural advantages. Members have opportunities for self-enrichment and intellectual pursuits in a creative environment. Programs in art, languages, computer classes, music appreciation, book clubs, fitness programs, crafts, and stimulating games are offered. Professional presentations relating to social issues, humanities, health, and other facets of our cultural community are important aspects of our program.
Our Staff
CAFE MANAGER/CHEF
The elderly are my heroes, especially my mother! They have wisdom from experience. They are resilient and appreciative. I enjoy being a part of their lives. I love to cook and see members gather and socialize over lunch. Being part of a team that provides a service that enhances member’s life experience is satisfying to me. My place on the staff is to prepare and serve food, but I am always willing to step out of the kitchen and help in any other way.
HOUSE COORDINATOR
I am a people person and I thrive interacting with people of all ages and enjoy each individual’s take on the world, their wit, wisdom and experiences. My place on the staff as House Coordinator allows me to be involved in all aspects of this learning community and its members.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I have met so many people from all walks of life and discovered that age is not a factor in the continuance of learning …sharing ideas and life experiences gives one a sense of belonging . Here at Hamilton House, we foster that warmth and enrichment. I have learned and appreciated this generation who still has an abundance of life’s stories and experience to share with the community.
