Volunteer
“It’s been a privilege of mine to serve with the Lifelong Learning Institute at Virginia Tech since its inception in 2015.”
~ Don Creamer, Member and Volunteer
The Lifelong Learning Institute relies on volunteers to develop and deliver excellent programming each year to its members. How can you volunteer?
TEACHING – Teach a course, lecture, or program in an area of your own expertise – profession or passion. Ideas for courses may be sent directly to the Program Committee Co-Chair, Nancy Metz at nmetz@vt.edu. Submit the course or event proposal form. Visit the Instructor Support pages for tips on teaching senior learners and messages from experienced instructors about the rewards of teaching for LLI.
INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT – Class Assistants are needed to help in the classroom, distributing class materials, setting up and restoring the room, introducing the instructor, and assisting with technology. Online class assistants are also needed. Training is provided for all Class Assistant positions.
COMMITTEE WORK – Help us support our members by serving on one of our LLI committees: Program, Outreach, Instructional Support, Development, and Social Events.
OCCASIONAL ASSISTANCE – Volunteers are also needed for short-term tasks that do not require a sustained time commitment.
Interested in volunteering? Email lifelonglearning@vt.edu and let us know your area of interest.
