The Edgartown Council on Aging welcomes all types of volunteers, with a wide variety of skills and interests. Many of the programs offered at the Anchors are made possible because of the commitment of board members, group leaders, drivers, kitchen helpers, and others who generously give of themselves and their time.
If you are interested in becoming part of the Anchors team, please contact volunteer coordinator Meris Keating at mkeating@edgartown-ma.us to schedule an appointment. All volunteers must fill out an application form and a CORI. Attached is an application form for your convenience.
