Agency: Hands On Greater Portland

Description: Pretty much everyone experiences positive, life-affirming benefits from volunteering in our communities. And for Boomers, civic engagement helps to cultivate a greater sense of purpose and connection at a time in our lives when, perhaps, we most desire it.

To assist you in finding your direction, focus and renewed identity through civic engagement, Hands On is convening this monthly Affinity Group for Boomers to come together to volunteer in our community and then share with one another about our experience. We will also provide transformational tools and resources to help you deepen your understanding of self and service while cultivating a meaningful connection to the larger scheme of things.

We anticipate that on-going participation in this group will bring to your life: support; empowerment; meaning & purpose; leadership & service opportunities; self-understanding and, connection to new friends and community!

If this group is already full, please notify the Volunteer Leader of your interest. Once we have enough interest, we will begin a second group.
