Touching Lives Over 55 is looking for Peer Leaders

Training for Volunteers 55+ to Lead Groups for Successful Aging
Are you interested in “Touching Lives” of older adults? Touching Lives Over 55, a program of Journey’s Way, currently is recruiting volunteers to facilitate peer discussion groups about health and wellness, successful aging, retirement, and life experiences. For ten years, more than 150 volunteers ages 55-90 have lead “Next Chapter” discussion groups with over 3,600 older adults across Philadelphia!
Volunteers must be at least 55 and enjoy working with people, have good listening skills, and provide their own transportation. Discussion groups meet weekly in senior community centers throughout Philadelphia. Peer Leaders learn new skills, meet new people, and enrich lives!
The next training starts on October 25 and runs through November 22 at Journey’s Way, 403 Rector Street in Roxborough. To apply to become a Volunteer Peer Leader and begin writing your next chapter, contact Jan Zacharjasz at 215- 487-1750 ext. 1214 or email: jzacharjasz@intercommunityaction.org.
