Evergreen Senior University (ESU) is an outreach program of Evangelical Formosan Church of Irvine (EFCI) established in 2014 to serve the senior community in the Irvine, California area. The program offers classes in Taiwanese, Mandarin, and English covering subjects such as language, music, technology, cooking, dance, and the arts, with no exams, homework, or academic pressure. Classes meet every Tuesday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at EFCI (17422 Armstrong Ave, Irvine, CA 92614) and are organized into three trimesters per year. Since its founding, ESU has enrolled more than 250 participants and is open to community members of all ages, though it primarily targets seniors aged 50 and above. The program also incorporates seasonal celebrations, free life-topic seminars, and shared meals to foster community connection, and charges only a modest $40 registration fee per trimester.
