Shared Interest Groups (SIGs)

A SIG is a group of OLLI members who form around a common interest in an activity or topic, getting together as often and for as long as desired to engage with that area of interest. It is facilitated by one or more of the members. A SIG may be an off-shoot of an OLLI class by students eager to continue pursuing the topic, or an initiative by a member with an idea for an on-going group endeavor.
