Building a community for all ages

Age-Friendly Glen Cove aims to provide ways people can, if they choose to, work for pay, volunteer their skills, and be actively engaged in community life.

Action Plan for Glen Cove:

• Create a central, organized directory of volunteer, job, and training opportunities. An online directory will be hosted on the Age-Friendly Glen Cove website which can be accessed via the City’s website, and may contain links to organizations and will be structured by topic, as well as short vs. long-term projects or for specific groups such as veterans. A brochure with general information about opportunities and website and contact information will be available at City Hall and at key places throughout the City. The website will be monitored for changes.
• Utilize the Interagency Council’s listserv and the City Views newsletter to widely distribute information to businesses and households for immediate volunteer opportunities. The listserv can be emailed at the beginning of each month, while City Views is published quarterly.
• Expand the idea of the school’s community service ceremony to the city by creating a “Volunteer Appreciation Day” where volunteers are recognized for their service.
