Engaging Volunteers in the Aging Network: A National Resource Center

On December 13, n4a announced the creation of Engaging Volunteers in the Aging Network: A National Resource Center.  This is a collaborative effort by the Administration on Aging, n4a, NASUAD, AARP Foundation, Senior Service America, the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration, and the University of Michigan.  The center will deliver assistance to members of the aging network in support of volunteers. 
This is made possible through a three-year AoA grant.  The grant provides funding for the development of a technical resource center to conduct preliminary research on current civic engagement, bring together leaders in the field to share their expertise, build strong outreach and communication throughout the country, and provide research and promote best practices.  It will also work to train volunteers and provide technical assistance for volunteers and volunteer coordinators. 

The press release, can be found here.

NASUAD will be an active partner organization in the center.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Deb Merrill at dmerrill@nasuad.org .
