Welcome to AFSA's Road Scholar (formerly Elderhostel) web site. This page will act as a
clearinghouse of information for all of AFSA's Road Scholar programs. Bernie Alter is the Administrator for all of our Road Scholar programs in Washington, DC and Chautauqua, NY along with Marketing and
Outreach Manager Ásgeir Sigfússon. We also have an advisory role for all of our programs in other locations.
To the right you will see our upcoming programs, which take place in various locations around the United
States. Please take your time as you browse through these and identify the program that most interests you. You can enroll in any program that is open for registration by clicking on the program title. There is also a "Helpful Links" section which includes the essentials if you are traveling to one
of our Washington, DC programs.
You may contact Bernie at bjalter@hotmail.com. For an instant
