SHINE Training Event for New Volunteers
SHINE Volunteers are Needed
As a SHINE volunteer, you'll have the opportunity to perform a variety of functions, including providing information and assistance to Medicare consumers, their families, and caregivers by conducting counseling on Medicare, Medicaid, health insurance, prescription drug plans, and long-term care planning. SHINE volunteers also deliver educational presentations in the community and participate in health fairs and outreach events.
Requirements to become a SHINE volunteer include:
- Interest in working with the senior population;
- Competent computer skills and the ability to use the Internet;
- Successful completion of required training.
Active volunteers are also asked to attend update meetings and refresher training. Training is provided to individuals who successfully complete an application. If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information, please contact:
