Moderating for OLLI has added a great deal to my life for the past six years.

~From 2025 Member Survey

The moderators who lead OLLI classes are volunteers who share their knowledge, passions, and hobbies with the OLLI community of lifelong learners. We are looking for moderators in all fields of knowledge from art to zoology and everything in between.

NOTE: New moderators of multiweek courses must successfully complete the Gateways to Success orientation on Friday, June 18, 1-3:30pm. Accommodations can be made for those who are not local, have a scheduling conflict, or have completed the Teach for OLLI course.

OLLI at UC is rolling out a new course model: Learn and Do. These classes transform information into action within the structure of the class.

An example of a "Multiweek Course" Learn and Do could be 6 weeks in the classroom to learn about and plan a service project, then 2 weeks outside of the classroom and in the community to execute the project. 

An example of a “Special Program” Learn and Do could be a visit to a local nonprofit for a talk, followed by a service opportunity within the same visit.

Please consider if this model applies to your course proposal or could be an option for your course proposal. 

Select the correct proposal form from the list below.

Questions or Late Submissions: 513-556-9186 or email olli@uc.edu.
