The current need is for participants on our Seniors Information & Help Line.

BCCEAS is recruiting volunteers in several areas:

Seniors Advisory Committee
The Seniors Reaching out to Seniors program is recruiting older adults to participate on a Seniors Advisory Committee. As a volunteer you will receive training as a facilitator and will learn to present workshops on financial abuse prevention. You will also provide advice about new workshops we are developing.

Lawyers and Legal Interns
The Elder Law Clinic is also recruiting volunteer lawyers, law and other students, paralegals and interns to deliver services, under the supervision of the Staff Lawyer and Executive Director (the “Clinic Volunteer Program”). Internships with students from relevant areas of study will also be considered.

Seniors’ Support Workers
We are looking for volunteers to answer the Seniors Help and Legal Information Line and to provide practical and emotional support to callers. Some previous experience in counseling or peer support is required.

Administrative Office Volunteers
We are always looking for volunteers who can assist in our administrative office. Specific tasks will vary and more information is available upon request.
