Make independence a reality. Be matched with homebound elderly or disabled adults and make a difference in their quality of life.

Got an hour? Give an hour. RSVP volunteers choose how, where and how often they want to serve.

Be a cherished mentor. For many children, a grandparent fills a role no one else can. Tutor and mentor students in a school near your home.

Operation: Veteran Connect provides support for veterans and military families. Our “Veterans Serving Veterans” model creates meaningful impact for Tampa Bay.

Live Your Legacy. Be a Hero. Volunteer.

Our mission is to provide solutions to community challenges by engaging volunteers age 55+.

Founded in 1984, we connect volunteers, age 55 and over, to meet the needs and challenges of at-risk seniors, veterans and children in our community. We serve Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties and help more than 2,500 individuals annually, making a difference and changing lives through community service. Learn More.

Live your legacy now. Be a valued helper to a homebound senior, a cherished mentor to a struggling child or an appreciated companion to an at-risk veteran. We help you create meaningful volunteer opportunities. You have unique skills, abilities and interests, and we strategically match you up to where you can most benefit and benefit your community. Gear up. Be a hero.
