Seacoast

OLLI Members Exploring Odiorne State Park

With its blend of coastal charm and cultural vibrancy, the Seacoast Region is home to nearly 200 members across more than 30 towns and cities in southeastern New Hampshire.

Courses are held at the conveniently located UNH Professional Development & Training center, located at 230 Commerce Way, Portsmouth, NH 03801, along with a variety of exciting off-site locations that highlight the unique character and opportunities of our coastal communities.

Thanks to the creativity and commitment of our volunteer Curriculum Committee, the Seacoast Region offers over 80 engaging courses each year, spanning a wide range of topics. Members also enjoy access to statewide Zoom offerings, giving even more ways to stay involved—no matter where you are.

Of course, learning is just the beginning. Throughout the year, members are invited to free, relaxed social events, including our popular Lunch & Learn series, where good food meets great conversation.

Whether you want to shape future programming or simply enjoy everything the Seacoast has to offer, we invite you to connect with your regional volunteer leaders—they’re here to help you dive into the OLLI experience and make the most of your membership.
