Our goal is to provide support to leaders in establishing, training, supervising and maintaining senior outreach volunteers, with the foundation of the ministry involving friendly visitors to seniors in private homes. Friendly visitors build potent connections between isolated older adults and their communities, past facilitating relationships amongst community members, being advocates for older adults, providing companionship and conversation, and by beingness an ongoing, supportive presence in older adults' lives.

The resources center has developed volunteer training and supervision structures for parishes to use every bit they implement their senior intendance ministries, particularly friendly visitors. A volunteer training curriculum, older adult needs assessments and volunteer interest surveys are available through the center.

In addition to friendly visitors, senior care ministry building may involve volunteer assistance in home upkeep, errands and light housework, also as fellowship and aging related educational opportunities; depending on the needs of seniors in a particular parish. Working with a parish based volunteer coordinator, the Senior Services Resource Center will provide support and guidance to parishes as they develop a multifariousness of ministries that reflect the needs and culture of their communities.
