OLLI at UNLV Inspires Creativity and Empowerment Through Lifelong Learning and the 'Make Good Trouble' Project

The OLLI program at UNLV, supported by the Bernard Osher Foundation, offers lifelong learning opportunities for retired individuals. Art classes are particularly popular, with offerings like diamond painting, watercolor, and photography. Teachers like Rita Ballejos and Teri Malburg emphasize the hands-on, therapeutic aspects of art. The program also includes a community-wide creative writing project titled "Make Good Trouble," which invites contributions on aging experiences. The deadline for submissions is July 31, 2025, with a goal of publishing the book by November 2025. The project aims to empower older voices and showcase their wisdom.
