Give 5, a program that connects older adults with meaningful volunteer work, is now enrolling for sessions this fall. 

During the weekly sessions, participants hear from and visit nonprofit organizations that are looking for volunteers. The sessions provide a way to "taste test" volunteer opportunities before committing.

"For people like me who are retired, or soon to retire, it's just an amazing opportunity to be able to really find what will be a best fit for you or any particular organization that needs lots of help."

Julie Adolphson, Give 5 participant and long-term care ombudsman volunteer

How to enroll

The first fall Give 5 session starts Sept. 18, and the second begins Oct. 23. Other sessions will be offered in the spring. 

Give 5 is open to adults 60 or older who live in Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte and Ray counties in Missouri.
