Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)
Curiosity Never Retires

OLLI at UC Irvine is a community of passionate lifelong learners, engaging our minds and enriching our lives through education. 

YOUR donation to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute today will support OLLI’s ability to provide a lifelong learning program to intellectually curious, active adults.  


With access to UC Irvine’s world-class educators and local experts from diverse industries, OLLI at UC Irvine offers high-quality hybrid courses in Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and STEM that provide members continuous growth and enrichment. OLLI at UC Irvine delivers a generous schedule of Special Event excursions every semester. Whether it’s exploring the historic artists of Laguna Beach, examining the formation of stars and planetary systems, discussing current events, discovering recent medical breakthroughs, revisiting European History, or examining English history through Shakespeare’s words, members enjoy course topics that cover a wide range of subject areas. Classes are held at the Irvine Train Station.



OLLI is supported by the UC Irvine Foundation, a nonprofit organization, and relies on the voluntary contributions of our members to develop class courses, organize excursions, serve on development committees – each volunteer contributes to enhancing the member learning experiencing and creating a vital community resource. Volunteering is a way to give back to OLLI every semester. 

OLLI’s hybrid class format requires more resources than ever to ensure the highest level of quality possible for our members in the classroom and online. Your donation today will: 

  • Sustain and strengthen our classroom operations to ensure the highest quality learning experience for members and provide a valued and essential community resource
  • Maintain affordable membership costs


Every donation to OLLI is important and has an immediate impact on the quality of the class experience for members. Thank you so much for your support. Stay Curious!
