The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program is a part of the National Senior Corps. Funded by a federal grant and sponsored by Venango County Area Agency on Aging, this program helps people age 55 and older find rewarding opportunities for community service. Each year 600+ volunteers serve to strengthen and support programs in over 50 agencies in Venango County. Volunteers serve in a wide range of capacities from advocating for the elderly and visiting with seniors to mapping locations of abandoned oil wells and testing county streams.

Volunteers are essential to our county. They often enable non profit agencies such as theatres, museums and thrift stores to remain open.  Many lives have been touched by the trained volunteers who assist during disasters, prepare taxes, serve soup, make toys, deliver meals. guide museum visitors, assist in theatrical productions and  lend a helping hand at nursing homes.  This is only a partial list of possibilities. 

Please call the Project Advisor to schedule an interview and learn how your skills can help. Training is free and supplementary insurance is provided during service hours.

Volunteers choose their own hours, meet new people, learn new skills and have FUN too!
