Good morning – Our older Americans need advocates. The Prince William Agency on Aging is looking for volunteers who are empathetic, diplomatic and assertive; to volunteer as an Ombudsman. As an Ombudsman you will be assigned to visit a local nursing home or assisted living, 4 hrs/week, to ensure that the residents rights are being protected. Call Daphne Van Tiem at 703-792-7662 to volunteer for this wonderful program. This is truly an unmet need in our community! The Agency is also looking for summer volunteers to work on updating their Resources guide – might be a great job for the college student thinking about a future internship program.
