Volunteer

Volunteering with Agency on Aging Area 4 is an opportunity to make valuable personal connections while also improving the lives of aging adults and people with disabilities.

Whether you have a few hours a month or 20 hours a week, we’ll match you with a rewarding opportunity that fits your schedule and interests.

You could:

Help install a garden at a senior center
Make a friendly phone call to a lonely neighbor
Deliver a freshly prepared meal to a homebound adult

…and much more!

Aging comes with challenges—from physical limitations to changes in memory—but older adults still have so much to share. Intergenerational relationships bring joy, meaning, and a stronger community.
Join dozens of local volunteers who are making a difference every day.
