Are you interested in becoming a Senior Peer Counselor in San Luis Obispo County? Peer Counselors offer skilled listening and guidance to help older adults navigate the ups and downs of aging. Counselors are trained to provide quality services that have been shown to improve the quality of life of older adults and support their independence as they face various life circumstances. Volunteers benefit from a free specialized advanced seminar series, mileage reimbursement, weekly professional supervision, on-going training opportunities, and enjoy camaraderie with fellow Counselors in San Luis Obispo County. *Due to COVID, our training is now online instead of in-person instruction. This is a great time to start the process, as we normally only hold 2 trainings a year (in the fall and in the spring). There is a workbook in addition to the online presentation. Don’t miss this great opportunity for virtual training from the comfort of your home. Information: Jennifer Kaplan 805-547-7025 x 2216 or jkaplan@wilshirehcs.org

Do you enjoy driving, meeting new people, and making a difference in your community? If so, please consider joining the Good Neighbor volunteer team and help older adults in your community by providing rides for medical appointments, grocery shopping, and pharmacy trips. Our volunteer drivers have provided over 1,100 rides for seniors this year alone but there are still many who are unable to get food, prescriptions, or the medical attention they need. We need your help in supporting the health and well-being of the older adults in our own community. For more information please contact Kristen Grasso kgrasso@wilshirehcs.org
