Established in 1988 as an integral part of the University of North Carolina at Asheville, the North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement (NCCCR) has the threefold purpose of promoting lifelong learning, leadership, and community service opportunities for retirement-aged individuals. Besides serving the greater Asheville area, NCCCR collaborates with organizations in North Carolina and across the country.

NCCCR's long-range goal is to encourage the development of an age-integrated society. In response to the aging of America, NCCCR serves as a laboratory for exploring creative and productive roles for a new generation of retirement-aged people, many of whom will blend education with post-retirement careers.

NCCCR programs and services are guided by a Center Steering Council made up of volunteer leaders who collaborate with the center's professional staff. Our year round programs, which include intergenerational opportunities, serve people in the greater Asheville area and periodic workshops, seminars and retreats attract individuals from across the nation. The menus at the left and right link you to the full array of NCCCR activities. We hope you will get involved.
