SCC Volunteer Opportunities

Senior Community Connections relies on the generous efforts of our loving and dedicated volunteers. Volunteers enjoy a flexible schedule, no minimum requirements on volunteer hours, and friendships and connections with local seniors. Volunteers are able to make a tangible difference in the lives of others. SCC has a variety of opportunities to serve.
