Volunteer: CHAAT Callers Needed!

Did you know that you don't have to BE alone to FEEL lonely?

Now, more than ever, our senior citizens are feeling isolated and disconnected from society.

Only one phone call a week will make a huge difference in the life of a lonely senior. Chatting Helps Aging Adults Thrive (CHAAT) is a phone-based companionship program aimed at seniors who are socially isolated and would benefit from a friendly call, helping both the giver AND the receiver.

CHAAT calls can be placed from the comfort of your own home! (After Orientation and background check)

 

If you are age 55+ and would like to be part of this special program, please call 810-249-0820 for more information!

Volunteer: Literacy Mentors Needed for Adults and Children!

Inspire Change by helping Adults and Children Achieve their Maximum Potential!

Many adults across Genesee County need help to gain basic literacy, math, or computer skills that will enable them to succeed as workers, parents, and community citizens. When adults reach their educational goals, their families and communities grow stronger. With the critical support of our dedicated RSVP Volunteers, we can make a difference.

Volunteers are vital to the success of students and literacy programs. They bring optimism and enthusiasm, create positive energy, and share diverse perspectives that lead to enhanced learning outcomes for students.

Become an adult literacy volunteer and help empower an adult learner to reach their full potential to participate more fully in society.
