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.

Love to craft? Fish? Collect baseball cards? Discuss current events? Let us know and we’ll help you get started. Contact our SIG volunteers at ollisigs@eckerd.edu
