Volunteer...for fulfillment and fun
An excellent way to enrich your life is to volunteer your time and skills to help make Senior Programs the very best! Every Senior Center and Neighborhood Senior Program is dependent on the highly involved volunteers who make good things happen.

Energetic people are needed to help at the front desk or in the gift and snack shops at Senior Centers. Office support, including computer word processing and data entry, is needed at each office, and there is always a need for skilled volunteer instructors and entertainers to keep activities going at each of the Senior Centers and Neighborhood Senior Programs.

Let volunteering in Senior Programs enrich your life and those around you. Contact the program staff at the center or program nearest you, or call the Senior Programs office at 240-777-4925 to find out how to get involved.
