| Ways to help |
WritersVolunteer writers and researchers assist with member publications like the biannual newsletter each Spring and Fall which features short articles about OLLI members and events.Class ModeratorThe class moderator supports the instructor and classmates in a Zoom class by admitting class members from the waiting room and managing the Q&A period. In some classes, at the instructor’s request, they may also run PowerPoint slides, help lead class discussion and the like. Before the start of each semester volunteers are matched with classes and training is offered.Class AssistantAs a class assistant you’ll serve as a vital liaison between OLLI, class participants, and the instructor. Greet members, check attendance, distribute handouts and evaluations, help set up for presentations, and generally assist the instructor in preparing for class. See the OLLI Class Assistant Position Description. Training is offered in Charlottesville and the Valley prior to the start of each session.Join the Tech TeamIf you like computers and electronics and are knowledgeable in this field or are interested in learning more about them, OLLI and our instructors are always in need of extra support with Audio-Visual equipment. We generally use just a few software programs (mostly PowerPoint) on laptops connected to data projectors. However, we also use DVD/CD players, slide projectors, PA systems, and even overhead projectors, on occasion. Training and support are available. If you are inexperienced with Audio-Visual Equipment but interested and willing to learn, please let us know you’re interested, and we will happily teach you everything you’ll need to know! |
