Volunteer   

OLLI couldn't exist without volunteers!

Volunteers teach classes, serve on our OLLI Advisory Board and committees, lead Special Interest Groups (SIGs), and help in the classrooms and office.

Committees:

Curriculum Committee:

Are you excited when the new OLLI catalog arrives in your mailbox? Planning our next course catalog is a major task. Volunteers help recruit instructors, as well as getting the final commitment (and paperwork) from instructors so that a class is a “go.” The committee also ensures that we offer a well-rounded and intriguing collection of classes, with the goal that there will be a class for everybody.

Diversity Committee:

Do you have ideas for how to invite and include under-represented groups into our OLLI community? Or ideas for classes that might be of interest to groups who are currently not well-represented in OLLI? We’d love to become a welcoming and inclusive space for all of Fairbanks. Please help us make this happen!

Day trips Committee:

Every year, usually in the summer, OLLI offers free day trips for members. In the past, we've toured GVEA's new solar array, learned about bird banding, and visited a miniature horse farm. This committee makes these trips happen.

Hospitality Committee:

Social events such as our Annual Membership Meeting Picnic require planning, cooking or ordering food, set-up, and clean-up, as well as welcoming other members.

Publicity Committee:

Help us spread the word about OLLI's programs and how to register.
