Civic Engagement

OLLI’s Civic Engagement Committee seeks to identify, define and develop a sustainable plan of action that addresses signature social issues in the greater Asheville area that engage and provide a significant volunteer experience among OLLI members.

OLLI Calls to Action

The OLLI Civic Engagement Committee defines a “call to action” to meet a specific need in the community such as education, housing and homelessness, and hunger and food insecurity. The CEC offers OLLI members the opportunity to work with various local organizations addressing critical needs in our community and to work in a group. If you would like to learn more about getting involved, contact OLLI at 828-251-6140 or email us.

Find a list of active CEC volunteer opportunities and contact information so that you can find the right volunteers and work with other OLLI members to address important issues in the Asheville area.
