Volunteer: Schmieding Center

As the first Center on Aging (COA) under the Arkansas Aging Initiative, the Schmieding Center for Senior Health and Education became an operational model  for other COAs to replicate which focused on improving health outcomes of older Arkansans in our region through interdisciplinary clinical care and innovative education programs and to influence health policy at the state and national levels with emphasis on care of rural older adults.

Volunteer Opportunities: The Schmieding Center is always looking for dependable volunteers to help with programming, events and administrative tasks. Volunteers typically work two-hours shifts assisting in the Aging Resource Center, greeting people, helping at special events, preparing programming packets, organizing fundraising efforts and more. Common duties include making community presentations, teaching a class, data entry, filing, staffing community resource centers, distributing flyers, and finding and communicating information in response to incoming inquiries.
