Volunteer Opportunities

The Senior Friendship Center has a variety of volunteer opportunities.  The Center is selected as a Retired Senior Volunteer Station and many volunteers are needed to answer the phones, clerk at the gift shop, perform light clerical duties, assist in the computer lab, and with council subcommittees, and  help with special events and recreational programs.

Student Learning Opportunities

The Senior Friendship Center offers students a chance to work with older adults and gain experience in program administration, planning and client contacts.  Students from WSU and SMU Social Work Program are able to complete their required practicum at the center.  The Senior Friendship Center has been proudly recognized for its support of this program.  Students from other fields also choose the Senior Center to complete required course work.  Winona Senior High and Cotter High Schools send students to the Center for Community Service learning.
