Opportunities to help local seniors
Ways to Give Back:
At Nassau County Council on Aging (NCCOA), volunteers are always needed and appreciated. If you are interested in helping seniors, there are many opportunities available at both the Janice Ancrum (Fernandina Beach) and Westside (Hilliard) Senior Life Centers. Be assured that we strive to match each volunteer to an assignment they enjoy.
Volunteers not only enhance the quality of life for seniors on a personal level, but volunteer participation positively impacts the amount of funding available for beneficial NCCOA programs.

-
-
