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.
