For date-specific changes, use the official contact and office-hours page.

Programs, Activities & Learning Spaces

This CLC is more than a classroom building. Resident programmers, partners and volunteers use it for hands-on learning, performances, recreation and community events. The available sessions change through the year.

How to Join a Class or Community Event

Because the center works with multiple programmers, there is no single registration rule covering every program. Use these steps to avoid enrolling in the wrong session.

1. Choose the category. Decide whether you want pottery, cooking, needle arts, performing arts, fitness, pickleball or a youth activity.
2. Check the active calendar. Open the CLC’s events and programs page and locate the exact activity.
3. Read the session details. Check the date, time, room, age range, fee, membership requirements and any included supplies.
4. Check the organizer. Some programs are hosted by a dedicated programmer or community partner. Follow the organizer’s stated registration method.
5. Complete the enrollment or ticket purchase. Use only the payment or registration method linked by the official center or event organizer.
6. Keep confirmation. Save the ticket, email, enrollment receipt or instructions and check which entrance is recommended.

Optional Text Reminders

The CLC publishes a text-alert system using the number 81010. The following codes are listed for different activity interests:

Text-message terms and carrier charges may apply. Follow the operator’s current opt-in instructions and verify the selected code on its contact page.

Community Learning Center Room & Event Rentals

The Kendallville CLC offers classrooms, meeting areas, large gathering rooms, a historic auditorium and gymnasium space. Both nonprofit and for-profit organizations may inquire about eligible spaces.

Choosing by guest count, privacy, technology and event format is more useful than choosing a room just by its name.

What Is Included with Selected Spaces?

• Classroom: Tables and chairs, Wi-Fi and presentation monitor.
• Community Room: Seating areas and wireless internet.
• Multipurpose Room A: Tables, chairs, Wi-Fi, a wall-mounted monitor and food-warming equipment.
• Auditorium: Event technology, wireless internet, custodial personnel and technical staff for audiovisual equipment.

See the official classroom rental details, Multipurpose Room A specifications and auditorium facilities before choosing your venue.

Rental Prices, Memberships & Other Fees

CLC offers different activities and venue spaces, so there is not one universal fee for visiting, attending classes and booking a room.

A universal 2026 dollar rate for every room could not be reliably established from the accessible operator pages, so no unsupported rates are given here. Many individual rental pages provide downloadable fees documents.

How to Rent a Room at Community Learning Center

Use the venue information and rental agreement rather than treating a general inquiry as a confirmed reservation.

1. Choose your event format. Identify the date, start and end time, expected attendance, whether food is needed and any audio/video requirements.
2. Select a suitable room. Match your guest count with the capacities above. Use a private classroom for confidential training rather than the open-hallway Community Room.
3. Review the fee document. Open the relevant space page on the official Community Learning Center website and select its rental details and fees link.
4. Read the rental agreement. Check permitted activities, supervision, equipment, cleanup duties, damage responsibility and any applicable policies.
5. Contact the CLC office. Call 260-544-3455 or use the official contact form to request the date and space.
6. Confirm the complete quote. Ask about room availability, the payment schedule, deposit, event services, equipment, setup access and cancellation requirements.
7. Finalize through CLC. Follow the operator’s instructions for signing the agreement and payment. Keep the written booking confirmation.

Questions That Can Change Your Booking

• Is the rental for a private, nonprofit, commercial or ticketed event?
• Do you need tables, chairs, a kitchen, a screen, microphones or internet?
• Will there be children requiring adult supervision?
• Is additional setup or cleanup time included in the booking?
• Are outside vendors and food permitted for your specific space?
• Is a separate technical operator required for the performance or presentation?
• Will your guest layout meet the approved occupancy limit?
• What payment or insurance arrangements apply?

First-Time Arrival Tips

• Use the Diamond Street address for navigation, but remember that the main visitor door is off Riley Street.
