Description

Senior Solutions is a Area Agency on Aging that provides services and supports to older adults and caregivers in their homes and local communities that help them remain as independent as possible, prevent poverty and achieve an optimum quality of life. The VISTA will help build a strong volunteer program, create defined roles for volunteers and assure training, support and supervision. The VISTA will help develop and disseminate creative messages using multiple forms of media to provide information for and about older adults and aging issues. The VISTA will also help us expand our
impact by finding and pursuing new funding sources.


The SerVermont VISTA Program is a comprehensive umbrella project that welcomes host sites tackling a wide array of poverty related issues in Vermont. We place members in organizations and state agencies to fight poverty across the state by increasing education and job-training opportunities, fighting the opioid epidemic creating more food-secure communities, increasing safe and affordable housing, and serving veterans and military families. Our VISTAs build and strengthen systems in order to increase their sites capacity to provide these services to those who need them most.
