Serving South Arkansas through Volunteers and Americorps
El Dorado Connections is a volunteer center sponsored by South Arkansas Regional Health Center. Not only do we serve as a clearinghouse for volunteers, matching volunteers with a much needed service in our community, but we also see ourselves as "senior advocates". The staff and a trained group of volunteers assist with Enrollment in Medicare Prescription Drug Plans and troubleshooting problems, Educating the public and reporting Medicare fraud and abuse, serve as a site for the Union County Literacy Council providing tutors to help adults learn to read and much more.
AmeriCorps/RSVP
AmeriCorps/RSVP is a nationwide volunteer program which invites adults age 55 and over to use their life experience and skills to answer the call of their neighbors in need. Today's adults are busy, productive people. After retirement, many RSVP volunteers in El Dorado, Magnolia and Camden use their experience to keep active in ways that make a difference in Union County, Columbia County, Ouachita County and across South Arkansas.
