About Our Programs

Welcome to Mankato Area Community Education!

At Mankato Area Public Schools, we believe education is a lifelong journey that extends beyond the traditional classroom. Through our Community Education Services, we provide opportunities for growth, connection, and learning for every one of our 73,000 residents—from the youngest learners to our most experienced community members.

Community education is about more than just classes and events; it’s about building a vibrant, engaged community. Our programs are designed to meet the diverse needs and interests of all ages and abilities. Whether you're looking to learn a new skill, pursue a passion, or simply connect with others, we have a place for you.

Engage with us! Gather. Inspire. Move. These are the pillars of our community education mission. We invite you to join us in creating a space where people come together to learn, inspire one another, and make meaningful changes in their lives and the community.

We also encourage you to help shape the future of our community by getting involved. Volunteering in our schools and programs is a powerful way to make a difference. Our Engagement team is here to match your time and talents with meaningful opportunities.

Join us in making lifelong learning a cornerstone of our community. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about how you can get involved, please reach out to me or any of our dedicated staff. Together, we can create a stronger, more connected community through education.
