Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are always welcome at the Senior Center! We have opportunities that range from assisting with special events and projects, mailings and notifications to members, making phone calls, or regular weekly projects... perhaps you have a special talent or knowledge base and you'd like to share! To further discuss volunteer opportunities at the Senior Center, please call 860-721-2770 or email the Senior Center Coordinator.

The Senior Citizen Advisory Committee (SCAC) consists of members appointed by the Town Council. Members represent senior groups and senior residents in town. The committee identifies the needs of seniors and makes recommendations to the Town Council to meet these needs. Also, the committee disseminates information that affects the senior population. All seniors are welcome to attend meetings held on the third Thursday of the month at 3 pm at the Pitkin Community Center. SCAC meeting agendas and minutes can be found on the Wethersfield website.

Health and Wellness Programs & Member Services

The Senior Center partners with local organizations to provide a range of health screenings and services for seniors. Services currently available include free Auditory Consultations, free Legal Consults, discounted Footcare services provided by a Registered Nurse and discounted Massage Therapy provided by Certified Massage Therapists.

To make an appointment for services, register for programs, or for more information, please call Amy Miller Dignoti at 860-721-2770 or email the Senior Center.

Tech Help for Seniors

Volunteers offer one-to-one assistance with iPads, iPhones, Windows 10 computers, and Android tablets and phones. Please email or call the Wethersfield Senior Center Coordinator at 860-721-2770 to schedule individual tech assistance.

Tech Help for Seniors welcomes volunteers to act as teachers, and coaches and to provide one-on-one assistance. You don't have to be a computer 'wiz' to help. If you have some basic knowledge of smartphone technology (iPhone/iPad or Androids), or understanding of certain aspects of computing (Windows/MS applications), a willingness to help others bridge the digital divide, and patience, you too can be a valued volunteer. Our group is friendly and supportive and will provide needed assistance to get you started as a volunteer. If interested, please email for more information.
