A Participant Profile is required to participate in AR&LE programs.

AR&LE publishes a catalog of our classes and activities. Here you will find descriptions of all of our programming.

Activities in our Winter Catalog are still happening. If you’re interested in Spring and Summer opportunity, please see our Spring/Summer Catalog.

Find classes and activities that you would like in the catalog, then contact the organization that offers the program (look in the upper corner of each catalog page).

Registration is done separately through each organization.

AR&LE’s catalog is published three times each year in late-November, late-February, and late-July.
