The following article, entitled The New Old Age, appeared in theNew York Times and highlights the benefits of Senior Volunteerism.
Evidence of the benefits that volunteering can bring older people continues to roll in. "Volunteers
have improved physical and social functioning," said Fengyan Tang, an assistant professor at the
University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work, who has studied older volunteers. "They report
better well-being and greater life satisfaction. There's a reduced risk for mortality compared to non
-volunteers."
I reported a few weeks back on a public school program whose volunteers, in a small-scale initial
study, appeared to reduce their risk of cognitive decline.
But we're also learning that not all volunteering is created equal. In Dr. Tang's most recent study,
published in The Gerontologist, she surveyed 207 volunteers (average age: 72) who devoted on
average six hours a week to programs providing such services as preparing meals or teaching
computer skills.
The results demonstrate how important the programs' organization and administration can be.
Volunteers reported greater "socioemotional benefits" - a sense of having made importantcontributions, feelings of enhanced well-being - when the programs provided greater
"organizational support."
What's organizational support? Thoughtfully matching volunteers with jobs that interest them.
Offering training so that volunteers feel familiar with the work environment, the staff, the task,
the possible challenges ahead. Making volunteering more convenient for older people by providing
parking or transportation, even small stipends. Recognizing their efforts with events or awards.
"Organizational support is more important than the individual characteristics of the volunteer, in
terms of longer participation and greater benefit," Dr. Tang said. Seniors and families looking forengaging volunteer opportunities, and programs hoping to recruit and retain older volunteers,
take note.
Everyone I know who volunteers finds the experience far more rewarding than expected. I often
hear people say, "I got so much more than I gave." And every one of them is surprised the first
time. Volunteering is contagious. Do it once and you'll be hooked. You'll also learn new things.
Every time. Be a volunteer - Contact the office to find out how.

Computer Swallowed Grandma
Want to Improve Your Computer Skills?Come to Moriah on Wednesdays for our
Free Computer Classes
Led by Instructor Ralph Perez.
Come listen to Abby Stokes demystifycomputers for us on January 21 @ 2:00 pm.In her lecture she will discuss the internet,
Facebook, Twitter and blogs.
The computer swallowed grandma,Yes, honestly it's true.She pressed "control" and "enter"
And disappeared from view.
It devoured her completely,The thought just makes me squirm.She must have caught a virusOr been eaten by a worm.
I've searched through the recycle binand files of every kind:I've even used the Internet,but nothing did I find.
In desperation, I asked JeevesMy searches to refine.The reply from him was negative,Not a thing was found "online".
So, if inside your "Inbox",My Grandma you should see,Please "Copy", "Scan" and"Paste" her
And send her back to me!
