'Tis that time of year! Join us for our annual OLLIday Party & Open House on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 1:30–3 PM, at OLLI HQ (1995 University Ave., Suite 365, Berkeley.)

One in four Alameda County residents is experiencing — or at risk of — hunger. It’s a sobering reality, but one we can help address together. Please join fellow OLLI members on Wednesday, Jan. 14, from 12:30–3 PM, as we roll up our sleeves as a group to sort and pack fresh produce at the Alameda County Community Food Bank’s Oakland warehouse — no heavy lifting or special skills required. It’s a simple, hands-on way to support neighbors in need and show up for our community.
On the course roster? AI, the Supreme Court, the Declaration of Independence, female sexuality in fiction, California noir, "The Boss," art that wows, Naples, film, and more. Learn about all the benefits of an OLLI @Berkeley membership — access to dozens of courses, speaker events, field trips, town halls, workshops on healthy aging, socials, travel and more — as well as our special offer for new members and our fee assistance program.
Join us for a docent-led tour of Berkeley's Latino Community: A Story of Pride and Resilience (1900–2025), an exhibit presented by the Berkeley Historical Society & Museum that celebrates the vital role Latinos have played in shaping Berkeley’s social, political, and cultural landscape. Spanning more than a century, it traces the resilience, activism, and creativity of the Latino community — from early migrant laborers and railroad workers to student organizers, artists, educators, and community leaders.
