50+ Volunteer Network
Connecting Skilled Volunteers with Nonprofits in Need
This unique new county initiative focuses on the rapidly growing 50+ population seeking purposeful volunteer opportunities. Through personal consultations, the program effectively matches skilled volunteers with nonprofit and government agencies needing assistance. The 50+ Volunteer Network offers a valuable resource for agencies and engages volunteers who want to give back to the community by using their lifetime of professional and personal experiences.
Are you over age 50 and:
- Retired or planning for retirement and thinking about your next step?
- An empty nester or at a stage in life where you have additional time and a desire to be more engaged ?
- Searching for a way to make a significant contribution of time and talent to serve your community?
The 50+ Volunteer Network has opportunities for you:
- Ongoing program management and support – edit a newsletter, provide administrative and client intake services, join a board, manage a program
- Short-term consulting projects using your professional skills -- grant-writing, accounting, strategic planning, marketing, web design, IT help
- Direct services to clients in need – tutor or mentor at-risk students, teach adult literacy, provide career counseling to those in transition
- RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Programs) opportunities including the RSVP/AARP Tax-Aide Program
The program features advisors who -- based on your availability, skills, and interests -- can connect you to these and many other meaningful volunteer opportunities throughout Montgomery County.
