We make it easy for you to get involved in your community.
You can make a big difference in someone’s life. Volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Together, we can create positive change and bring about a meaningful impact in every community. Our programs are focused on providing free support at home, recreation, education, resources and to improve people’s ability to socialize as they are aging.
We have numerous opportunities for volunteers from our Neighbors Helping Neighbors program, to helping at our Tech Center, in our Cycling Without Age Manchester program, help at our fundraisers, and more.
Volunteering Has Many Benefits

2. Connect: Volunteering is a fantastic way to meet like-minded individuals who share your passion for making a difference. Friendships forged through volunteering often last a lifetime.
3. Grow: Volunteering provides opportunities for personal growth. You’ll learn new skills, gain valuable experiences, and develop a greater understanding of the world around you.
4. Make an Impact: Every minute you spend volunteering can positively impact someone’s life. Whether you’re teaching technology, providing transportation, or cleaning up a yard, your actions matter.
5. Feel Good: Volunteering has a profound effect on your own well-being. The sense of accomplishment and the joy of knowing you’ve made a positive impact can boost your mood and reduce stress.
