Volunteers are needed to educate and counsel senior and disabled adults and their caregivers on health insurance issues. They are also needed to provide assistance in accessing affordable prescription drugs. The volunteers will provide one-on-one counseling over the phone, via ZOOM or in person. They can work from their homes or counseling sites. Volunteers must agree to participate in educational presentations or community health fairs. Extensive training is required initially, and ongoing training is provided regularly. Volunteers will be reimbursed for mileage and receive meal allowances when on duty. Travel will generally be in the areas of Hillsborough, Manatee, Highlands, Hardee, or Polk Counties. A two-year commitment is required. Please note that persons holding a current insurance agent license cannot be considered.
