Thrive Alliance to have info sessions

Thrive Alliance is holding two informational sessions July 17 for those interested in the Volunteer Advocates for Seniors and Incapacitated Adults program.

The program helps enhance an individual’s quality of life by making decisions on that person’s behalf which reflect, as much as possible, the individual’s own choices and preferences.

Those interested in service as a volunteer advocate are encourage to attend one of two informational sessions being offered on July 17 at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The sessions are located at the Thrive Alliance offices in the United Way Center at 1531 13th St. in Suit G900.

Volunteers must be 21 years old or older, have no criminal history or social services history of violence and successfully complete the application and screening process.

They should also be someone who enjoys helping others, has life or work experience with older or disabled adults, can commit to the time required, can follow guidelines and instructions and be able to exercise sound decision-making.
