Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Southwest Suburban Center on Aging (SWSCOA). Only with a dedicated group of volunteers can we offer a range of programs and services every month to the more than 8000 individuals and families that we serve each year. Volunteering is a source of great satisfaction for those who participate. Following are some of the major volunteer groups with brief descriptions. If you would like to volunteer or would like more information on these activities, please stop by the Center on Aging, or call us at 708-354-1323, ext.12 or email: mkovach@swscoa.org.
