OLLI joins a large number of similar institutes for retirement age learners that have opened on university campuses across the nation. OLLI offers to its members opportunities to pursue current intellectual interests and to explore, with an academic approach, new areas of learning.

Besides attending daytime classes, members volunteer in all aspects of OLLI's operation. Volunteers participate in planning curriculum, teaching courses, organizing social events, assisting instructors in the classes, and managing the organization.

The OLLI philosophy is to provide, at a modest cost, academic experiences for all its members, regardless of previous educational background. Anyone of retirement age who subscribes to the spirit and purpose of OLLI is welcome to become a member. The annual membership fee is $100.
