Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia was the featured agency on the debut edition of Beach Talk, a new AARP Virginia virtual program highlighting leaders and influencers in the Virginia Beach area.

Florida VOLTs and Florida Volunteers took the State by storm on their first All Florida Volunteer Quarterly Meeting in September. A very lively opening got the meeting off to a rousing start. State Director, Jeff Johnson and Manager of State Operations, Dionne Polite were well received featured speakers. Breakout rooms gave all an opportunity to meet and greet fellow volunteers from across the state. To top it all off, everyone who attended received a certificate for a fresh pie. P.I.E. This was the meeting acronym for Plenty of Fun, great Information and Education. What a nice surprise that was!

The Compassionate Contact Corps/Veteran Friendly Voice (CCC/VFV) program connects volunteers with select Veterans who need regular and consistent social connections. This program is a pilot and is offered in Florida and two other states. Volunteers will engage veterans through video call sessions on a platform in which they will be trained.
