Lifelong Learning

Learning that older adults lead — not just receive.

A living library of peer-led classes where experienced adults teach the skills, tools and confidence their peers actually want — built and taught by people who have lived it.

The challenge

Learning for older adults is built by everyone but them.

Most "learning for older adults" is designed by people half their members’ age, and it shows: low completion, low trust, low return. Programming that doesn’t reflect real lives doesn’t get used.

The appetite is enormous and largely unmet — access to training drops sharply with age, even as careers and lives extend.

How GetSetUp delivers

Mobilizing older adults to solve it — together.

We don’t broadcast content at members — we mobilize them to create and teach it. Our Guides are older adults: retired teachers, nurses, engineers, chefs. They build and lead live, interactive classes for their peers, from digital skills to fitness to creative pursuits.

Learning lands because the person teaching it remembers learning it themselves.

01

Peer-led and live

Real-time, interactive classes — not pre-recorded lectures. Questions get answered by someone who relates.

02

Built for real lives

Pacing, language and references designed by and for the 55+ community, so people finish and come back.

03

A growing catalog

Thousands of class hours across digital, health, finance, creativity and work — expanding as the community grows.

Guide story

“I spent 40 years in a classroom. I never planned to stop teaching — I just changed who sits in the front row.”

Margaret, 68
Retired teacher, now a digital photography Guide

Her beginners’ class has a waitlist, and many students return to take three or four more.
