Beginning with our upcoming sessions, the Jefferson County JVS Adult Special Interest Department will be eliminating our traditional mailed paper brochures and moving primarily to digital communication.
To make sure you don’t miss upcoming classes, new workshops, registration openings, announcements, and other opportunities, we encourage you to join our new email mailing list!
Join here!
Prefer a paper copy? Printed brochures will still be available for pickup in the JVS Main Office January 5-7, 2027.
Our mailing list will be one of the easiest ways to stay informed as new Special Interest opportunities become available.
Your contact information will only be used for communication related to the Adult Special Interest Department, and you may request to be removed from the mailing list at any time.
