Ways to help | Senior Companions Senior Companions are volunteers who spend 15 to 20 hours each week giving one-on-one attention to adults having difficulty with daily living tasks. Senior Companions provide the assistance many older adults and people with disabilities may need in order to live independently. A Senior Companion may go along to help with grocery shopping or for a walk. They may spend time helping to write a letter, prepare a meal or pay a bill. Senior Companions make the lives of those they serve less lonely by offering simple friendship and a helping hand.- Weekly

Foster Grandparents Foster Grandparents spend 15 to 20 hours each week giving one-on-one attention to children with exceptional needs. Volunteers may rock babies, color with pre-schoolers, listen to school-age children read, or assist teenage parents with completing school successfully. In all cases, the relationship that grows between the Foster Grandparent and the child makes a tremendous difference in the lives of both.- Weekly

Friendly Caller for Isolated Seniors The spread of the COVID-19 virus has created unique challenges for area seniors. Many of the vital local systems our older adults have relied on for companionship and social interaction have been put on temporary pause. Area seniors need our help and support now more than ever. In response, Area Agency on Aging has launched a Friendly Caller Program for area seniors who need someone to talk to so they do not feel isolated or alone. Currently we are seeking a few volunteers who would like to serve as a friendly person to talk to seniors and give them regular ‘check-in’ calls while they are sheltering in place, and staying safe, during the COVID 19 pandemic. During these calls you will provide reassurance, help connect seniors to information regarding services they may need, and mostly, make sure they are not feeling lonely or isolated.- Weekly

Campus for Creative Aging Teachers/ Coaches The Campus for Creative Aging is an all-volunteer computer learning center for people age 50 and older. Our volunteers come from the private and public sectors. They are business people, teachers, and homemakers. They come to share their expertise, to make a contribution to the community, to meet new people and be part of the team, or to learn new skills. The reasons for volunteering are as varied as the people who volunteer. What is certain is that each volunteer will make a positive contribution to the success of our Computer Learning Center.- Weekly
