The Retired & Senior Volunteer Program is a part of the National Senior Corps. It is 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 over 50 agencies. They do everything from tutoring in schools , the Literacy council, to after school programs and mapping to locate abandoned oil wells plus testing the county streams. We need more people for the environmental team and the Tax Team, before November.

Volunteers are essential to our county . They often  keep the non profit agencies open such as the theatres , museums, and thrift store.  Many lives have been touched by the trained volunteers who do disaster relief, tax preparation, soup kitchens, toy making, meal delivering. museum docents, theatre work and  Nursing Home activity and physical therapy assistance. . This is only a partial list of possibilities.

Please call the Project Director to schedule and interview where your skills apply. Training is free and insurance provided during service hours. Volunteers choose their own hours and have fun too!
