W H A T O L L I M E M B E R S S A Y
OLLI feeds my mind, body and soul.
Thank you!
OLLI programs almost always far exceed
my expectations!
I just love learning about topics I’ve
never considered or did not know much
about.
OLLI offers such interesting and varied
programming. The difficult part is
choosing!
What I value most about my OLLI
programs is that learning is active. I
enjoy relating what I learn to my
background and life experiences.
The instructor was very enthusiastic,
very well prepared and very
knowledgeable. The class was well
organized and well structured with
excellent visuals and supporting
resources.
L E A R N I N G
This ED-venture was an AWESOME
learning experience! I applaud the
creativity of the coordinators. It’s clear
they’ve done lots of research.
One of my favorite aspects of OLLI ED-
ventures is visiting venues that are
unknown to me. I often return to them
with houseguests or when I want to
take a wonderful staycation.
At the conclusion of each ED-venture I
take, I tell the coordinators it will be
difficult to top. Yet, they always do! The
programs are so imaginative.
E X P L O R I N G
When I relocated to Jacksonville in
retirement, I yearned to meet new
friends who shared my interests. OLLI
provides not only wonderful
camaraderie but also intellectual
stimulation that adds so much to the
quality of my life.
I value how OLLI’s instructors,
facilitators, coordinators and members
embrace great diversity in terms of
views, opinions and experiences.
I’ve been surprised how many close
friendships I’ve developed at OLLI.
Recently, I told my partner I didn’t come
to OLLI looking to make more friends,
but I’ve formed some of my most
cherished relationships there.
B E L O N G I N G T E A C H E R S & F A C I L I T A T O R S
Volunteers with passion or expertise they
wish to share! Here’s what they tell OLLI:
After taking more than 20 courses, I
decided it was time for me to step up and
teach, too. I’m really having a blast doing
it!
~An OLLI Instructor
I told the director that if she ever repeated
this, I’d deny saying it. But I would pay
OLLI for the chance to teach such
fascinating, highly motivated people.
~An OLLI Facilitator
An old saying suggests that the best way
to learn is to teach. OLLI has set me on a
nonstop learning path in my retirement
years. Members are open-minded, seek
intellectual challenges and appreciate
being involved and highly participatory.
~An OLLI Instructor
Want to learn more about sharing your
expertise and passion? Simply email
newunfolliinstructors@gmail.com to start
the conversation. There is no obligation.
Meaningful, purposeful and fun volunteer
activities allow deeper involvement for
continued creativity and fulfillment in
retirement.
My OLLI volunteer activities give me
purpose and a place to stretch my
creativity and continue to learn and grow.
Equally important, I have made wonderful
friends who inspire me and enrich my life.
I truly feel as though I receive much more
than I give. An OLLI Leader
Want to learn more about becoming
more involved in your OLLI? Send an
email to unfolli@unf.edu to learn about
openings. Training, mentoring and helpful
resources are always available.
