Volunteers for Seniors

Albert Lexie gets up every day at five in the morning and goes to work shining shoes. And every week, he donates some of his proceeds to the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. You know much he’s donated? Eighty-nine thousand dollars. If a shoeshine man can make that kind of difference, what’s stopping the rest of us?

By volunteering to help seniors, CSAs will gain a broader understanding of the issues older adults face -- and learn more about the organizations available to help seniors and their families.

  • CSA CE credit hours: One hour of volunteer work earns 1 hour of CSA CE credit.

  • Reporting your volunteer hours: Members must track the number of volunteer hours they work, including dates, times, names of the organizations and individual contact names. SCSA will randomly audit members’ volunteer records every year.

    For your convenience, use this form: Record Your CSA CE Volunteer Hours for Seniors. (This form is a PDF file. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to view this file.)
