Precinct 3 conducts special "Summer Training Institutes" for senior citizens who volunteer for the Senior Education Program as instructors and teaching assistants.  Activities are designed to help volunteers become better teachers, provide information that can be used in their everyday life, and still be an enjoyable, inspirational day.
