ElderSource, a nonprofit organization that works to empower elders, adults with disabilities and their caregivers in order to age with dignity and independence, is seeking volunteer members to its advisory council, specifically seniors who reside in St. Johns County.
Duties for an advisory council member are to report on the needs of elderly and emerging issues in their respective counties; review and comment on the agency’s Area Plan; study legislative issues and advocate on behalf of the elderly; assist in promoting the mission, programs and activities of the agency; and to educate the public about the needs and the contributions of the elderly.
“Our advisory council members are an important asset to our organization,” said Linda Levin, CEO of ElderSource. “They are an active voice we need to hear in order for us to stay in touch on senior issues affecting the communities in which they live.”
Meetings are held the third Thursday of every other month from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. and conducted virtually using the Zoom platform.
