Are you 55 years of age or older and looking for a way to give back to your community? AmeriCorps Seniors, in partnership with NEMCSA, offers meaningful volunteer opportunities through three programs. The Foster Grandparent Program allows you to serve in schools and preschools, providing encouragement and support to help students succeed. The Senior Companion Program gives you the chance to visit other seniors, offering friendship, assistance, and care to those who need it most. The Retired Senior Volunteer Program provides flexible ways to serve your community with opportunities such as home meal delivery, food pantry assistance, transportation, and more. Volunteers may qualify for mileage reimbursement, and some programs also offer an hourly stipend. To learn more, call 1-877-222-9043 or contact 989-358-4650 or otta@nemcsa.org
This is your chance to make a difference while staying active and connected.

Alcona Health Center’s Tiger Health Extension is looking for students, parents/guardians, staff, and community members to join the Tiger Community Advisory Council (CAC). The CAC works together to build awareness, create a positive health center identity, and review policies and services. Members serve as a bridge between students and staff, provide input on Tiger branding, share ideas to make clinic spaces welcoming, and review key policies. The council meets at least twice a year, either in-person or virtually, and decisions are made by consensus. If you are interested in supporting student health and having a voice in shaping services, contact (989) 358-3935 ext. 3830 or email cdetloff@alconahc.org Join the Tiger CAC today!
