A M1 At Ad hal RE ER A Everything from tax infor- moral boost" is how Rev, C.E. Clarke of Prince Albert sees his job as representa- tive to the Department of Senior Citizens Services. Mr. Clarke has had consid- erable * experience dealing with the elderly, and sees 'their problem basically as one of information. *'A lot of people just don't know what is available in the commun- ity," he said. "Our job is to see that they do." The Senior Volunteer is a retired Ontario Senior Citi- zen (at least 55 years old) of either sex, who enjoys reas- - onably good health, is mobile "~_knows about his community and is willing to commit himself, for a year initially, to the service of other seniors in his community. The Senior Volunteer must live in a community with apopulation of less than 25,000 peopie and a community that does not * already benefit by the ser- vices of a Senior Volunteer. It is understood, of course, that a Volunteer is free to take holidays, but to be of help to ity the Volunteer should sattempt to find a temporary replacement. By agreeing to become a Senior Volunteer for a year, the Volunteer receives training and regular supervision at his District Office. The training included information on provincial and federal programs as well within the community. Once the Volunteer has familiarized himself with his own community resources, he is then equipped to begin his peer counselling role. The primary service that is por- vided is one in which the Volunteer acts as an enabler or facilitator. He identifies the needs and sees that they are being met by helping the individual receive the aid required. This involves knowing a little about all services that Senior Citizens might use and by being able to put the person in touch (face to face, by telephone or by mail) with the resources that can resolve the particu- lar situation.
