JASA to Host Queens Volunteer Expo and Legislative Forum on Civic Engagement

Join us for two special events this spring! JASA and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) are partnering on a volunteer fair for older adults in Queens. The event will held on Thursday, April 30th, from 10am-2pm at the Queens Borough Hall in Kew Gardens and will feature a cross-section of Queens nonprofits with interesting volunteer opportunities for older adults.

JASA will also be hosting a special legislative breakfast on June 12th at UJA-Federation of New York entitled Answering the Call: A Forum on Aging and Civic Engagement. The event will feature City and State leaders discussing new initiatives to involve older adults in service and civic engagement programs.

For more information on either event, please contact Kerry Allison at (212) 273-5228 or kallison@jasa.org.
