Older adults can work one-on-one with a volunteer navigator to identify potential risks of isolation or loneliness. Once screened, navigators will work to connect them to individualized services and supports that can help reduce their isolation and its causes. 

Through a collaboration with the Taylor Community Library, we provide one-on-one technology training for older adults to help build skills & confidence using digital devices and online platforms. These training sessions are free, friendly, relaxed, and productive. No two sessions are the same, as we truly customize them to each older adult’s individual needs, questions and interests. We let you set the pace so that stress and frustration are minimized. Sessions take place every Thursday from 3pm to 5pm at the Taylor Library. Register by calling (570) 343-1267

This is a fun, free & friendly service that pairs volunteers with individuals interested in receiving weekly, friendly calls.  These weekly calls service as a beckon to reach out to individuals who may feel isolation and seek additional resources.  Our friendly callers are the bridge between at-risk older adults and isolation navigators.  Connecting the two parties help fight the invisible, discouraging and detrimental barrier of social isolation. 

 RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) partners with different sites in Lackawanna, Luzerne, and Wyoming County to address various community needs.  A program that recruits volunteers who are 55 and older and who are interested in volunteering their time and talents to address community needs.  Click here for more information.
