Step into the World of Volunteering

Volunteers play an important role at OLLI. They help create a culture of community and shared experience.  And research shows that active volunteers reap numerous health and wellness benefits from volunteering.

Being a class host is one of the easiest ways that you can volunteer for OLLI and help us sustain our program. Class hosts provide a welcoming presence and assist with light administrative duties in the classroom. It takes only a few minutes of your time before and after class but has a big impact on the OLLI experience for all involved!

Specific duties include welcoming members to class and encouraging them to sign-in; providing information about OLLI policies, operations, and upcoming events as necessary; assisting instructors with the distribution of class materials; and encouraging members to complete course feedback forms.

No experience is necessary. Just a friendly smile and a desire to help!

If you would like to volunteer as a class host, please email olli@hsc.wvu.edu or call the office at 304-293-1793.
