Senior AmeriCorps Volunteers at IATP
The Illinois Hospice and Palliative Care Foundation (HAP) reached out to IATP in May about a possible collaboration between them and IATP to provide opportunities for senior AmeriCorps volunteers. The purpose of the program is to help the volunteers gain skills as Community Health Workers and be able to re-enter the work force.
After an IATP presentation for the AmeriCorps group, two volunteers contacted IATP and started the beginning of October. For the next five months they will help with consumer follow-up activities for the ICC and Tech Kitchen programs. They are also helping the Reuse program and Demonstration Center with processing returned equipment and preparing devices for use by others in need. Two more volunteers joined IATP in November.
These volunteer efforts are a great help to IATP. Contact us for more information regarding other volunteer opportunities.
