Age Well Community Partner Volunteer Program

Year Round

For more than 40 years, Age Well (formerly CVAA) has provided services and support that allow older Vermonters to stay independent and remain healthy at home, where they want to be. Age Well integrates community resources, health services, and wellness programs to enhance and improve the quality of life for older adults (60+) in Northwestern Vermont. Since 1974, Age Well has been part of Vermont’s Area Agencies on Aging, coordinating services and care for Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle Counties.

Age Well’s offerings and services include: Care & Service Coordination, Senior Helpline, Friendly Visiting Volunteers, Meals on Wheels, Community Meals, Wellness classes such as Tai Chi, Medicare Counseling, and much more. Delivered by staff members and over 1,000 incredible volunteers, their sought-after services are designed to meet the diverse needs of their clients as well as their clients' families and caregivers.

Age Well does not charge for services provided. As a nonprofit, they rely on donations and encourage clients to contribute if they are able to do so.
