Volunteer opportunities available for those 55 and older

Volunteer opportunities available for those 55 and older

 

"The life you have led doesn't need to be the only life you'll have.''

This quote from well known author Anna Quindlen sums up the attitude of many of today's over-50 crowd.

In the next few years, the first wave of the 76 million Baby Boomers will reach retirement age. These people represent the healthiest, most active, best educated and longest living group of older adults in U.S. history.

More than 180,000 people age 55 years or older live in Bergen County.  Many will retire from their present jobs to begin brand new careers.  For others, the decision to retire opens up opportunities to give back to the community by volunteering.
