Oviedo Mall is offering free workshops, with the next session on April 29 focusing on a timely topic: a First-Time Homebuyer Masterclass featuring a panel of local experts.
Oviedo Mall is redefining its role in the community with the launch of its new Community Learning Series, a lineup of free educational workshops designed to bring residents together to learn practical skills, connect with local experts, and engage with the community in a new way.
The series officially launched in March 2026 with the first Community Classroom session, featuring Carrie Moreau of Certified Best Roofing, who provided valuable insights on hurricane preparedness— an essential topic for Central Florida residents.
The next session in the series will take place on Tuesday, April 29 at 6:00 PM in Oviedo Mall’s
Community Room, featuring a First-Time Homebuyer Masterclass led by Shaelyn Ingram of The Mortgage Firm. The session will include a panel of local industry professionals, including a home inspector, insurance agent, and title agent, giving attendees a well-rounded understanding of the homebuying process.
Designed for renters, first-time buyers, and anyone considering purchasing a home, the workshop will provide actionable guidance and the opportunity for attendees to ask questions directly to experts.
“Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, and our goal is to simplify the process and give people the confidence to take that next step,” said Ingram.
According to Josh Gunderson, Director of Marketing & Events at Oviedo Mall, the initiative reflects a broader vision for the mall’s future. “Oviedo Mall has always been a gathering place, but we’re evolving into something more,” said Gunderson. “The Community Learning Series is about creating a space where people can come together to learn, share knowledge, and build stronger connections within our community.”
Beginning in June 2026, the program will expand to include additional series tailored to different
audiences:
• Teen Talks – workshops focused on real-world skills, career exploration, and personal development for high school students
• Senior Social – informative and social sessions designed for older adults
• Business Basics – practical workshops for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and professionals
All sessions are free and open to the public, with seating available on a first-come basis.
The Community Learning Series is part of Oviedo Mall’s ongoing effort to serve as a hub for community connection, education, and local engagement in Seminole County and the greater Orlando area.
Residents are encouraged to attend the upcoming April 29 session. Early arrival is recommended.
Local professionals interested in participating as featured experts in future sessions are also encouraged to apply.
