Volunteers frequently report that spending time working with other intellectually engaged adults enhances their lives in a multitude of ways, from nurturing new friendships, tapping into professional skills that may have been neglected since retirement, to feeling pride in giving back to an organization that has given so much to them. As one volunteer noted, “When you volunteer with other organizations you might give something to others (which is important, of course). When you volunteer with OLLI, you are the recipient of your work – you get to build your own community.”

Returning to In-Person

While some OLLI programs, including volunteer activities, continue to meet online using Zoom, we are also returning to in-person activities under the guidance of Michigan Medicine Geriatrics. Stay tuned to the weekly email from OLLI and the website for details.
