Discover, Engage & Connect

Lifelong earning is more than simply knowledge — it’s about connection, purpose and vitality. The Fromm Institute transforms lives, combats isolation, and promotes longevity. We provide adults 50 and older with dynamic educational courses in a welcoming community on the intergenerational University of San Francisco campus fostering intellectual engagement, social connection, and a renewed sense of purpose.

More than just a place to learn, the Fromm Institute is an investment in healthy aging. Research shows that staying mentally and socially active reduces the risk of cognitive decline, strengthens memory, and minimizes physical disease and deterioration. By engaging the mind and building meaningful relationships, we help delay the onset of age-related challenges — empowering and encouraging our students to lead richer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. 

For students, the Fromm Institute is a gateway to continued growth, inspiration, and connection. For donors, it is an opportunity to support a proven model for lifelong learning that enhances mental and physical well-being, fosters community, and extends the health span of older adults. The Fromm Institute is catalyst for a longer, healthier, and more vibrant life. Join us in shaping a future where curiosity knows no age, and membership is path to vitality.
