The West Chester Area Senior Center depends on the energy and commitment of hundreds of volunteers each year!

This past year we had 650 volunteers and had a combined 44,160 volunteer hours donated to our Center!

There are volunteer opportunities for everyone from school age to individuals in their 90’s to volunteer groups from local corporations. Over two-thirds of our volunteers are older people themselves–they are seniors helping other seniors.

We understand there are a variety of reasons that individuals look for volunteer opportunities. It is our goal to help provide access to service projects that are appropriate and meaningful for each group or individual looking to volunteer.
