Class Assistants (CA) are a vital role for In Person courses taking place at JRC and Erwin Mill. These volunteers make a difference to instructors, classmates, OLLI staff and the Curriculum Committee. An important part of this volunteer position is to create a welcoming environment for each class. Being a CA is straightforward and fun.

OLLI Class Assistants

OLLI at Duke requests volunteers to support instructors while they are teaching. We look to our membership to serve in this capacity. 

Your role as a class assistant is to assist the instructor with classroom situations. Each instructor will have different needs but there a few common tasks that we ask Class Assistants to manage:

• General assistance to the instructor

The steps to become a class assistant are very simple:
