Teach for OLLI
It’s a win-win situation!
You get to share your expertise and enthusiasm for a topic or area of interest with OLLI members, and OLLI members get to have a new learning experience. You can facilitate a 90-minute multi-week course, a one-time 60-minute OLLI Talk, or give an educational walking tour of a neighborhood or other location.
If you need help in developing and implementing your topic and ideas or creating a course proposal the OLLI staff offers consultations to assist you. In addition, an orientation workshop at the beginning of each term helps you become acquainted with OLLI and its members and share best practices for facilitating and presenting in the OLLI classroom.
If interested or if you have questions, please contact Genny Peterson, OLLI Program Coordinator, at 617.287.7322, or email her!
