If you are interested in offering an autobiography class for seniors in your local area, senior center, or library, LifeBio provides the LifeBio 101 Class. This 8-week autobiography class for older adults curriculum is perfect for people of all ages but especially for seniors and boomers.

These classes tend to become very social experiences so many times it is a matter of just keeping the class on track as you go through each week’s curriculum.
