Redefining Retirement (Bergen Volunteers)

Redefining Retirement is designed to help Bergen County understand and benefit from the asset and valuable resource older adults are and will continue to be. By engaging this population locally in meaningful volunteer work, Bergen Volunteers hopes to encourage and support retirees who want to age in place — in towns where they have lived for many years. Redefining Retirement works with interested nonprofits to identify their volunteer needs and connect them with retired volunteers who have the specific skills needed. There are two ways to get involved:
- Redefining Retirement Liaisons are trained volunteers who will make initial connections between the nonprofits and interested retirees. Liaisons hold monthly zoom information sessions.
- Redefining Retirement Volunteers are interviewed by the Liaisons who recommend them to the appropriate nonprofits, based on coordinating individuals’ skills, experience, and interests with the nonprofits’ requirements. All final volunteer engagement decisions are made by the nonprofits.
