As a result of a grant from the Retirement Research Foundation in Chicago, IL, JFVS has created the JFVS -VIP (Volunteers Investing in People) program. This program is two fold:

1. It is designed to offer seniors, 65 years and older, ways to remain vibrant and vital participants in our society. Seniors are encouraged to enroll in this program, which matches them with a perfect volunteer opportunity which best meets their individual needs. The professional staff at JFVS, in conjunction with JFVS Klein Older Services, will conduct an in-depth assessment, in order to place the senior in a meaningful and beneficial volunteer position.
2. Anyone 21 and over who would like to spend time volunteering with seniors, is encouraged to participate as well. By doing so,they would be able to help seniors get the assistance they would not otherwise receive.

The opportunities are endless. For more information or to sign up contact JFVS Volunteer Coordinator Shelley Kahn at (502) 452-6341 ext. 103.
