Get Involved; It's time to live your life "out loud"
Osher runs on the creative energy of its members. You make us strong, and keep us interesting and engaging. Go beyond learning…to sharing.
Lead a course
What's the topic you're passionate about? Osher members invite you to teach it. Some people tell us that they had a subject in mind that wasn't on the curriculum, so they went out and learned about it, and then taught it themselves. For some people, leading a course is the very best part of Osher membership. Learn more about how you can do it.
"Many of the classes I have facilitated have been on subjects I was curious about, didn’t know a lot about and wanted to know more. So I did that by offering a class, and preparing for that class. Osher feels like a safe place where I can do that."
"Teaching at Osher? I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. When you're teaching here, you're teaching people who are really hungry to learn."
Volunteer your talents
There are plenty of opportunities to exercise your skills at Osher. We need people who want to sit on committees, help out with social events, staff the phones... and more. Read about our volunteer openings
Tell your friends about Osher
Most of our members were introduced to Osher by their friends and colleagues. You can help us grow, too. We are beginning a three-year marketing campaign, funded by the Bernard Osher Foundation, to increase our membership to 500 members. Read more about it, and ways that you can help spread the word
Donate...
Osher is a non-profit organization. In the interest of keeping our membership fees low, we welcome your financial generosity. There are a number of ways to donate to us, including planned giving options that can lessen your tax burden. Read about ways to support Osher
Help us say "Thanks!"
Volunteers really do make all the difference at Osher. We've compiled a list of those folks who volunteered their time on committees during the last session. Read about them, and next time you see one of them, say "thanks!"
