Opportunity Details

Empower and Advocate for Older Adults at Elders in Action (age 21+) Referral

Has an older adult been an important part of your life? In return, are you willing to provide a listening ear and become a problem solver who can help older adults when their lives get a little complicated?

Elders in Action is a nonprofit organization that advocates for older adults, provides meaningful volunteer opportunities and works to build an age-friendly community. The Portland area is seeing a dramatic growth in population for individuals aged 60 & older. Elders in Action is the only program of its kind using trained volunteers to provide personalized assistance to older adults who are living independently and who want to stay that way.

When an older adult regains stability, it reduces strain on their family and prevents depletion of community resources. Social services to support older adults are being diminished but our purpose is to make sure their quality of life isn’t compromised.

We are seeking new volunteers in: Aloha, Banks, Beaverton, Buxton, Cornelius, Forest Grove, Gales Creek, Gaston, Glenwood, Hillsboro, Manning, North Plains, Portland, Sherwood, Tigard, Timber, and Tualatin.
