Volunteering at OLLI

Our program depends on volunteers dedicated to the continuous improvement and success of our lifelong learning community. There are a variety of opportunities for members to participate however their schedule and availability allows. We encourage members looking for volunteer roles on an as needed basis to assist with making coffee, taking attendance, monitoring virtual classes, stuffing envelopes, and more. 

For those who are looking to increase their involvement through ongoing volunteerism, you can join a committee or teach a class! To learn more about the volunteer opportunities available this semester and the coming semesters, please email OLLIatUNLV@unlv.edu or visit our volunteerism webpage.
