SHARED INTEREST GROUPS (SIGs)   

About SIGS

Meet up with like-minded members and discuss common interests and passions. There is no instructor or formal presentation. Instead, there is a volunteer facilitator—a member just like you—who helps keep activities on track and engaging. Sound like fun? It is.

PARTICIPANTS IN A SIG:

  • Share a common interest with others in the group
  • Are current OLLI members
  • Respect others’ views and perspectives
  • Contact the SIG facilitator at ollisigs@eckerd.edu for general information about the group
  • Pay for whatever materials or expenses are required for group activities
  • Enroll through the published OLLI registration process for each section in order to receive updates and program details from the volunteer facilitator and/or OLLI office.

 

SIG GUEST (NONMEMBER) POLICY

Shared Interest Groups are designed with the active member in mind and many are limited in capacity. Therefore, a non-dues paying ‘guest’ may only register to attend one session of a SIG (if space is available). Guests must contact the OLLI office to register.
