Purpose
The purpose of the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program is to provide a recognized role in the community and a meaningful life in retirement for older people through significant volunteer service. In doing so, volunteers not only keep themselves active, but also provide the community with a wealth of knowledge and experience. There are no eligibility requirements based on income, education, experience or any membership dues.
Volunteer Eligibility
