Registration Tips & Policies

Become an Advertiser

We invite local businesses and professionals to join with us in our commitment to provide valuable lifelong learning opportunities to the Forest Hills community by participating in our advertising program. Funds generated through the sale of advertisements in our two publications help to support our programs.

Our printed Community Services Enrichment Class catalog is mailed three times a year to over 34,000 Forest Hills residents. Our senior-targeted publication, Encore Programs Guide is delivered quarterly to the homes of more than 2,000 active Forest Hills seniors. Our advertisers consistently report positive results from the ads they place in these locally popular publications.

Download an advertiser’s information packet for more details about ad sizes, deadlines, prices, and other information.

If you have questions regarding advertising, please contact Jean Kubiszewski at (616) 493-8950 or email her at jkubiszewski@fhps.net.

Teach a Course

Do You Know Something We Don’t? Become an Instructor!

Do you have expertise in an area that you would like to share (and earn some cash at the same time)? We are always looking for friendly and experienced people to teach fun, informative classes in a variety of areas. We are looking for instructors to teach languages, art, photography, design, technology/computer software, cooking, finances, and fitness/sports/dance programs to adults. For youth classes, we are looking for instructors to teach languages, dance, music, art, technology, special interests, and fitness/sports programs to students in grades K-12.

If you have a unique talent or interest, complete a course proposal form (download one below) and send it to us. We are open to course suggestions that would have broad appeal to our community!

To download a course proposal packet, click below. Once we review your proposal, we will contact you to set up an appointment to discuss it in person if we are interested in offering your class. It’s that simple!
