Interages Volunteer Portal

Welcome, Interages Volunteers!

Thank You for a Wonderful Spring!

As many of our programs wrap up in May and June, we want to take a moment to thank you for all you’ve given this season. Your time, care, and commitment have helped build powerful intergenerational connections—and we are so grateful.

Our summer programs are already full (thanks to your amazing response!), and we’re excited about what’s ahead. We hope you’ll be back with us in the fall for more meaningful experiences and opportunities to make a difference.

Stay tuned—fall program details will be listed below later this summer!

With heartfelt thanks,
The JCA Interages Team

Below, you will find a running list of volunteer opportunities. You are required to complete the screening and training processes and your background check before signing up for a volunteer slot. If you don’t see a program that fits your schedule, please let Indira Dingledine know. We are always working on new offerings.

Thank you for volunteering with us!

We are pleased to report that the Interages volunteer corps has grown. We are implementing a new placement process to accommodate new volunteers into the programming. We have many exciting and fulfilling volunteer opportunities for you to choose from.  This new process gives volunteers more time to view opportunities.

Below you can find the listing of Interages volunteer opportunities. Sites that have been confirmed and finalized are highlighted in yellow

Monthly Reading Tutor Training Series

We hope you will join us on Zoom for our monthly Reading Tutor Training series. We are so grateful to presenter Megan Bainbridge, Reading Specialist of Captain James E. Daly Elementary School, who is providing the sessions. Each session focuses on a different Reading Tutor Training topic and lasts about an hour. Pre-registration online is required.

Please note, these sessions are providing broad tips and are not intended to be certification-level training.
