ABOUT US

Perpetual Learning from Kindergarten Through Retirement

At Perpetual Learning, we're changing the way companies, schools, libraries and other organizations help their people learn and grow. Our team is passionate about the power of reading and conversations with authors to change people for the better.

‍We love nothing more than getting lost in a great novel or applying an idea from a business book to make our clients' lives easier. When you work with one of our companies, you can trust that we're dedicated to the work that we're doing and about helping your people thrive.

Why We Exist

Our Mission

Full Team Photo 2024

We're on a mission to connect and empower communities through lifelong learning experiences, deepening their sense of meaning and wonder while having fun with peers and growing personally and professionally.

We believe that reading books is one of the highest leverage activities anyone can undertake to develop themselves personally and professionally. Everything our companies do, from author talk programs for schools to corporate L&D programs, comes back to the idea of lifelong learning and connecting people together.

We also know how hard it can be for people to find the time and motivation to develop themselves, whether they're first graders or senior executives. We're out to change this with every program we create by developing learning opportunities that pull people in, regardless of their age.

Our Story
BELIEFS

Our Values

Fanatical Service

The reason Perpetual Learning has earned and retained the business of so many different types of organizations is simple: we provide incredible service that makes reading and connecting around books enjoyable for people of all ages. This is the most important thing we look for when hiring amazing people for our team. Expect to be wowed by our passion for helping your organization... And prepare to have those expectations exceeded!

Authenticity

We believe that the difference between a successful enterprise and mundane organizations is authenticity. Those that strive towards a genuine mission and deliver true value to their customers and the world are rewarded in turn. We seek to provide that authentic value to every organization and person that we work with through the power of books and community. And we tailor our learning experiences to empower your people to help achieve YOUR mission.

Continuous Improvement

Complacency in our eyes is the same as giving up. There is no such thing as static in this life. We must adapt and grow, or we will stagnate and fall behind. Our mission is simple yet grand in scope and vitally important to achieve, so standing still is simply not an option. We welcome and seek out feedback from anyone and everyone to help us improve.

Making it Easy

We strive to make our programs easy for participants to engage with and even easier for program administrators at the companies, school, libraries and other organizations we work with. When you work with us, you can be confident that everything will be fully managed, effortless for you and your people, and will make you look great to your boss.

Our Team

We're a team of people in love with reading, obsessed with personal growth, and relentlessly focused on empowering other people to be their best self at school, work and beyond.
