Create Your Own Community Learning Cohort!

Looking for a highly personalized, flexible alternative to your regular schedule? Yearning for Learning is excited to introduce custom, small-group Community Learning Cohorts designed specifically for adults of all abilities.

While our standard 6-week virtual classes are a fantastic way to build skills online, our new Community Learning Cohort offers a premium, customizable alternative. If you live locally, these pods can be held completely in-person or as a hybrid experience. We are thrilled to offer these local sessions across both Monmouth/Middlesex County, NJ and Staten Island, NY!

Why Choose a Learning Community Cohort?

• Local In-Person & Hybrid Options: Meet entirely in person at a local community space, fully virtual, or choose a hybrid model that blends online strategy sessions with real-world, community-based practice.
• Small Group Focus: Limited strictly to 4–8 participants to ensure deep peer relationships and focused support from a specialized neuroinclusive advocate/coach/educator.
• Your Theme, Your Goals: Built as a targeted 6-week cohort with 1-hour weekly sessions. Group members select an anchor theme that matches their independence goals.
• Form Your Own or Join a Group: Have an existing circle of friends, a local club, or a neighborhood group in NJ or Staten Island? Build a custom cohort just for them, or apply to join one of our upcoming regional cohorts.
