This program shows active seniors how working part-time can be an important part of healthy aging in addition to making an important contribution to their community. Additionally, we address how working part-time affects Social Security benefits as well as the benefits of volunteering.            

About the Presenter:

Doug Peck is the Director of Community Partnerships for Seniors Helping Seniors of Greater Boston and Metrowest. Seniors Helping Seniors is part of a national program that employs seniors on a part-time basis to work with seniors in their community who need some assistance to remain independent. It is a social model that does not involve medical or personal care. Our focus is on companionship and helping deal with social isolation and loneliness.
