A legacy of goodwill and inspiration

Our PAE community recently lost a dear friend, gifted mentor, and extraordinary educator: Arline Saturdayborn. Arline taught passionately for more than 20 years, and her kindness and generosity inspired everyone who knew her. To honor Arline's generous spirit, we've created a special fund that will help more students access learning at our school. Click here to learn about our Student Bus Pass Fund, and consider a gift by April 1. Thank you for paying it forward and for believing in the power of adult education in Portland, Maine!

You're invited to an exciting new community event: PAE Voices Series! Our first session on Wednesday, March 8 features extraordinary entrepreneurial women who are creating change in Maine and beyond.
