Shared Interest Groups
Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) are a fun way for OLLI members to connect with others who share similar interests outside the classroom. SIGs help build community and can be springboards to new friendships or relationships.
You must have a Gold or Silver membership to participate in a SIG. There are no additional costs to take part in a SIG.
SIGs do not take the place of OLLI courses, and they do not duplicate or compete with OLLI courses or programs.
The success of a SIG depends on the active participation and commitment of its members.
Shared Interest Groups exist throughout the Osher network. For inspiration, we’ve included some ideas from other OLLIs.
