<strong>OLLI</strong> Sponsors and Volunteers<br />

<strong>OLLI</strong> is Looking for Volunteers<br />

If you want to get involved with the university, joining an <strong>OLLI</strong><br />

committee is a wonderful way to make this happen. <strong>OLLI</strong> is a<br />

volunteer organization that depends on the involvement of its<br />

membership to function and grow. We are looking for individuals<br />

that would like to lend their skills to the day-to-day administration<br />

of classes, and to planning courses, activities, and publications.<br />

Five <strong>OLLI</strong> committees currently exist, and they are…<br />

Newsletter Committee: members of this committee will publish<br />

one newsletter each semester: spring, summer and fall. Members<br />

will write articles for the letter, covering topics such as recent or<br />

upcoming events, focus on a class, focus on a member, etc.<br />

Members will also publish a flyer each semester to publicize <strong>OLLI</strong><br />

for the Marketing Committee.<br />

Marketing Committee: members develop a marketing plan, advertising<br />

and choosing the appropriate media to promote <strong>OLLI</strong>. This<br />

may involve distributing flyers, holding campaigns and contacting<br />

newspapers with notices of <strong>OLLI</strong> news and events.<br />

Event Planning Committee: members are responsible for planning<br />

special events at <strong>OLLI</strong>. The special events include the Members<br />

Meeting, held in the spring, the <strong>OLLI</strong> Celebration, held in the fall,<br />

the Juneteenth celebration held in the summer, and other events<br />

throughout the year.<br />

Ambassador Committee: members assist with special events,<br />

reminder phone calls, special mailings, survey reviews, etc. Committee<br />

members support <strong>OLLI</strong> instructors in class and represent <strong>OLLI</strong> at<br />

designated South Bay events. Committee members are also responsible<br />

for greeting <strong>OLLI</strong> members at meetings and special events.<br />

Curriculum Committee: members develop ideas for courses,<br />

lectures, computer workshops, discussion groups, and field trips,<br />

identify instructors from CSUDH faculty, community experts, and<br />

<strong>OLLI</strong> members. Develop class schedules, and publish the <strong>OLLI</strong> catalog<br />

each semester.<br />

Other skills are needed and everyone brings valuable knowledge<br />

and experience to the organization. Look for calls for volunteers,<br />
