CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

---

JSPOA is currently working on a Civic Engagement Initiative in Southeast Queens. As the baby boomers are retiring, they now have the desire, time and experience to volunteer and give back to the community by working with nonprofit organizations. JSPOA’s pilot program is working with over 30 nonprofit organizations to develop a Central Resource and Coordinating Committee for people in the community who want to volunteer with all kinds of nonprofit organizations

This program provides a way for older adults to continue to be active and contribute to society in their retirement years and helps nonprofit agencies continue to provide needed services in a climate of increased demands and budget cuts.

If you are interested volunteering with nonprofit organizations in Southeast Queens, please call 718-657-6500.
