• SHIP/Medicare D (health insurance counseling)

• SVCOA offers free, confidential health insurance counseling to current or potential Medicare beneficiaries through the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).  SHIP volunteers are available to help seniors and their families settle complicated insurance issues.  Please consider volunteering in our SHIP department in our Rutland or Bennington location.



• Meal Drivers

• Meals on Wheels are delivered by community volunteers five days a week to seniors who are unable to prepare their own nutritious meals.  The brief visit by a volunteer with their bright smile and friendly greeting is just as important as the healthy meal being delivered.  Please consider volunteering with Meals on Wheels in our Rutland or Bennington location.



• Money Management Program volunteers

• Money Management program volunteers help low income clients who have lost the ability to manage their financial affairs.  Assistance includes establishing a budget, opening, organizing, and sending out mail, check writing and balancing the checkbook.  Please consider volunteering with Money Mangement in our Rutland or Bennington location.



• Case Management Assistance

• Case Managers empower their seniors to help maintain their independence.  They do this by providing them, their family members, and their caregivers with information and assistance regarding all the programs and service options available.   This helps everyone involved with a senior make informed decisions.   Please consider volunteering in Case Management in our Rutland or Bennington location.



• Office/Clerical support

• Each of us has a special skill.  As a volunteer, you are on the front line, interacting directly with seniors, changing lives and giving hope.  Helping with office and clerical tasks such as filing and making copies is one way of making a difference.  Please consider volunteering with Office and Clerical support in our Rutland or Bennington location.



• Community Development
• The goal of SVCOA's Community Development program is to create working partnerships with elders, and others, who are interested in elder issues.  Through this collaboration, area communities become better places for older people to live. Our developers act as catalysts, facilitators and advisers to local groups, offering technical assistance in areas such as conducting meetings, promoting leadership within groups and exploring funding for projects.  The needs of each community are unique to that community.  We believe that working hand-in-hand with local groups to design options and choices is more effective than a "one size fits all" approach.  When a local group is involved and committed to making its community "elder friendly", wonderful things happen and are sustained, because there is strong local ownership.  Volunteers can help our community developers with activities such as:  assisting with our survey process, data entry, helping senior groups become organized and with special projects.  Please consider volunteering in Community Development in our Rutland or Bennington location.
