Opportunities to Volunteer

Engagement in the community is an important part of healthy aging. Volunteers not only have the opportunity to make a difference, but research has found that volunteering provides mental and physical health benefits.

Here are a few of the ways you can give back to your community by sharing your time, skills, and experiences. Some programs have age and income requirements, and several include a stipend.

There are a wide array of opportunities available. Some opportunities only require an hour a month, others a weekly schedule. We'll find the one that is right for you!
