| Services: | The Center on Aging is interdisciplinary research center specializing in aging education, research, and community service. It serves the state by maximizing the quality of life of Maine’s older citizens and their families. |
| Volunteer Opportunities: | Senior Corps Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP): RSVP is a Senior Corps program of the Corporation for National and Community Service. In addition to major federal support, the generosity of the Maine Bureau of Elder and Adult Services, the United Way of Eastern Maine, and other community organizations and businesses make this program possible. A nationwide volunteer program, RSVP invites adults age 55 & over to use their skills to answer the call of their neighbors in need. Giving anywhere from four to 40 hours per week, RSVP volunteers help solve serious problems in their communities. AmeriCorps VISTA Senior $ense program The mission of the Senior $ense program is to help improve the financial stability and independence of Maine’s low income older adults by providing knowledge, skills and resources that can be used by them, their families and professionals. Some of the issues our VISTA members are working on include: job skills development, discounted prescription drugs, minor home repair, personal financial management education, and consumer protection. |
