Welcome to OLLI

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) is a community of adults, who believe in lifelong learning, engagement and exploration. While OLLI's not-for-credit courses and workshops are designed for adults 50 and older, there is no age limit on membership, so if you find our programs attractive, we encourage you to apply! Our courses cover a wide range of topics, including art history, film, history, politics and economics, literature and language, and science. There are no mandatory exams, assignment or grades. We invite you to continue your journey of lifelong learning through our courses, lectures, and clubs.

Spring 2026 is well under way, but there are two more courses starting in early May that are still available! They are Mick Chantler's Presidential Elections, 1960-1980, beginning Friday May 1 at 2 pm on Zoom, and Linda Shore's Searching for Planets in the Milky Way, beginning Monday, May 4, also on Zoom. Click the register online button below or call OLLI to register today.

All Course Descriptions

I doubt there is any OLLI program better than ours. Thank you for so many fascinating hours in my life. Today, I came in person to show my love of the classes.
