Teach
Our OLLI faculty is at the core of the OLLI member experience. We welcome new and returning instructors and invite course proposals that range from academic subjects to skills and activities. We also encourage a variety of teaching formats, including informational lectures, hands-on instruction, facilitated discussions of books, films or ideas, and field trips.
OLLI instructors do not need to be an OLLI member, hold a particular degree or have taught previously. What we do require is knowledge of the subject matter, thorough preparation, and adherence to OLLI policies and guidelines. Sample topics covered may include history, art appreciation, current events, computers, alternative health, literature and writing, just to name a few. We encourage creativity in course content and course titles.
