Peer Social Club

Peer Social Club

Our services allow for clients to remain living at home, but The PEER Program is designed to get them out of the house!

This program is designed BY those 60 and over FOR those over 60 and adults with disabilities.  It is intended to focus on engaging clients who want to connect with one another to share common experiences within the community and enjoy meaningful and social or volunteer opportunities together.

Imagine having a theme party, yes you are young enough to enjoy going to space, or crawling through the darkest cave and see the living creatures up close. Well some imagination required. But the Peer program is just that, participants use their imagination to decide what activity to do in the following months. Would you enjoy a euchre tournament, or have some music and games. The possibilities are endless.

If helping at such an event is something you may enjoy, we are offering opportunities throughout the county at different locations and times. I hope to meet you there.

Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator.
