O S H E R L I F E L O N G L E A R N I N G I N S T I T U T E | 7 | F A L L 2 0 1 9 C O U R S E C ATA L O G Osher Institutes are volunteer driven organizations! Our volunteers and committees are vital to the success, quality and sustainability of the institute's programs. Your time, talents, and resources are valuable and provide needed support. Volunteers are recogonized at the annual College of Education and Health Professions Honors Convocation and throughout the year in the OLLI newsletter. Volunteers are needed for the following: OLLI Course Ambassadors OLLI classes are held at various venues across the region making it diffi cult for our small staff to be at each location. Volunteering as a Course Ambassador is a great way to help our staff provide a quality experience for students and instructors. Course Ambassadors assist with signing in participants, introducing the instructors, and making program announcements. No skills or training are needed. All information needed to be a successful course ambassador will be provided to you and available at each classroom location. If you register and attend an OLLI program course consider being a course ambassador! OLLI Committee Member OLLI committees are the driving force behind our institute's high quality courses, diverse membership and fun, unique programs. Currently the institute has four standing committees that need more volunteers: CURRICULUM- This committee takes all the credit for shaping and developing the annual list of courses. Members of this committee meet monthly to discuss ideas for course topics and recruit instructors for facilitating the programs. If you have an idea for an OLLI course, this is the group that can make it happen! MEMBERSHIP- This committee has the opportunity to build a diverse and fun community of learners. Members of this committee meet monthly to develop and discuss ideas for outreach opportunities. They also assist in implementing marketing strategies to promote OLLI program and membership benefits. SOCIAL- The social committee is a group that enjoys having fun and meeting new people. They meet monthly to come up with new and fun ways for OLLI members and students to connect outside of courses. Whether it's dancing, drinks or games, this group gets it organized. ADVISORY COUNCIL- The Advisory Council represents the membership of OLLI and assures coordination and strategic direction for OLLI. Working closely with the OLLI director and staff , the council establishes long-range plans and goals for the institute and ensures that programs are created to accomplish them. This group advises on policies, procedures, and guidelines for the program with the oversight of the OLLI director and the Dean of the College of Education and Health Professions. OLLI Van Drivers OLLI is expanding its out and about programs with more day trips, tours and hikes. We will be taking participants to local and regional venues and need volunteers to drive passenger vans on these exciting and fun adventures. Driving a van is a great way to experience OLLI activities and to participate in these programs for FREE! If you have interest in being a part of an OLLI committee contact us today!
