Would you like to volunteer to teach for OLLI?

OLLI welcomes all types of program leaders — from instructors who have taught in a university or school setting to presenters with no formal teaching experience who want to share a particular art, hobby, or interest.

Many instructors/presenters have reported that their OLLI programs have been the richest teaching experiences of their lives. OLLI learners are intelligent, vibrant, and engaging, and they bring a rich experience to the classroom that is typically not present in younger learners. In addition, for many instructors, this is the first opportunity to teach without grades, homework, and exams.
