Outreach
Community outreach is part of the Sanford Center for Aging’s three-part mission along with education and translational research.
- Grant support allows the center to offer free lectures and training programs throughout the year in the areas of wellness and caregiving.
- The center helps sponsor volunteer programs that assist older adults in Nevada with legal, medical, mobility and other issues. Volunteers also provide extra eyes and ears to government regulators charged with monitoring services for elders.
- Other efforts of the center connect active senior volunteers with programs that benefit their local communities, like the Senior Auxiliary Volunteer Effort (SAVE) with the Reno Police Department.
