This webinar discusses volunteer caregiving programs that help promote the health, well-being and independence of older adults and people with disabilities. Over 650 programs are located throughout the United States, including the territories of Guam and Puerto Rico. Whether it's a ride to the doctor, picking up groceries/pharmaceuticals, paperwork, or changing a lightbulb, older adults and people with disabilities benefit from a volunteer who lends a helping hand. This webinar, which reprised an AIRS conference workshop, teaches participants how to identify the contact for the nearest volunteer caregiving program in their area; understand the types of services available through Volunteer Caregiving; and make appropriate referrals to their local volunteer caregiving organization. Our presenters were Tammy Glenn, Acting Executive Director and Vice President for the National Volunteer Caregiving Network (NVCN), Jim Archer, NVCN Trustee, and Paula Marrone-Reese, National LEAD Ambassador.
