Volunteer

Senior Services offers a wide variety of volunteer and educational opportunities. The Center could not provide programs and services to the growing older adult population without the dedicated assistance of volunteers.

The Senior Services Center of Will County recognizes its dedicated volunteers at the Center's annual Volunteer Recognition Breakfast each January. Senior Services' volunteers have given over 590,100 hours of service to date.
