Be a vOLLIunteer!

Osher Institutes are member driven organizations and volunteering is an ideal way to connect and serve. Your time, talents, and resources are valuable to ensure that OLLI is able to provide the highest level of educational experiences to adults in northwest Arkansas. Volunteers have the opportunity to attend training sessions to receive detailed information about program policies and procedures and each year they are recognized at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute’s annual member celebration!

We always need and appreciate volunteers just like you for:

• Course Ambassadors/Greeters: OLLI courses are held at various venues across the region so we need your help to checkin participants, make announcements and introduce instructors. If you are planning to register and attend a course consider being a course ambassador!

• Office Ambassadors: At OLLI-UA we have a hard-working, but small staff. Volunteer a couple hours of your time helping in the OLLI office compiling packets, bulk mailings, photocopying, filing, answering the telephone, or other various administrative duties. • Community outreach: Help OLLI grow by spreading the news of all the great opportunities at OLLI-UA. Assist OLLI staff in distributing catalogs, flyers and promotional materials. Connect us with community stakeholders who have an interest in supporting or sponsoring our programs. Present information on OLLI at

your next club meeting! • Special projects & events: Periodically throughout the year OLLI has special events, fundraisers and exclusive programs. Be a part of making these moments special by helping plan, coordinate and facilitate these events.

• Drivers: If you like getting out and about then consider driving an OLLI van on one of our courses that offers transportation.

• Be an OLLI Leader: serve on one of OLLI’s committees and help shape future programs, courses and the direction of OLLI at the U of A. To volunteer or for more details, contact the Volunteer Committee at mjmusial@gmail.com, the OLLI office at (479)575-4545 or email us at olli@uark.edu.
