Williamston Community Education

Williamston Community Education is located at the Community Center in downtown Williamston. Our programs recognize that education extends beyond grades K-12 instruction. In fact, Community Education helps to expand education for the benefit of the entire community. The Enrichment Class Catalog is mailed out three times a year to the residents of Williamston, Webberville, and Dansville or it is available online. This booklet provides the community with information as to what is happening in Community Education. We are constantly seeking new ideas and suggestions so let us hear from you!

Our Mission…Williamston Community Education will improve the quality of life in our community by helping people of all ages learn, get to know and understand one another, and share their talents and skills with others. We will involve our citizens in problem solving and decision-making for the benefit of our community.
