LEO to study volunteerism in Lambton County GRAND BEND - Lambton Eld- erly Outreach (LEO) is a non prof- it home support agency servicing older adults and people with disa- bilities in Lambton County. LEO is currently conducting a three Phase study on volunteerism in Lambton County. Phase I of the study involves a literature search and a question- naire that is being administered to County residents aged 50 years+. LEO's Executive Director, Patricia Kelly says that "Phase I of the study goes beyond simply asking people what types of activities they are currently involved in as volunteers or, asking people if they are interested in volunteering. We also :want. to know why people cio not or cannot volunteer. Once we identify constraints or barriers to people's participation in volun- teer programs, we will then be able to determine if there is something that LEO can do to help people volunteer. While LEO is not in a position to address constraints such as lack of time to volunteer, LEO is in a position to address is- sues such as lack of transportation or lack of information on volunteer opportunities. One possible direction that LEO is exploring is the development of Supported Volunteer Programs for Volunteers with Special Needs. The goal of such programs is to in- volve people who want to volun- teer and have special needs arising out of disabilities or disadvantages circumstances such as poverty or illiteracy. In supported volunteer programs, barriers to people's par- ticipation are identified and re- moved. Appropriate accommoda- tions are made and support is provided so that people can suc- ceed at their volunteer jobs. Simi- lar models already exist across Canada in places such as Ottawa - Carlton and Victoria, B.C. LEO invites people aged 50+ to participate in Phase 1 of the study by completing a written question- naire. The questionnaire also asks people about the kinds of services they want or need. To obtain a copy of the questionnaire call LEO toll free at 1-800-265-0203 or, con- tact one of LEO's four offices lo- cated in Petrolia, Grand Bend, Co- runna and Forest. In Phase iI of the study, LEO is surveying agencies in Lambton County who use volunteers. The purpose of Phase 11 is to determine the need for a centralized volunteer hurcau. The proposed bureau would recruit and place people with agencies in need of volunteers and would promote the benefits of volunteering. There are so many volunteer opportunities available in our community, it can sometimes be overwhelming for first time vol- unteers. A volunteer bureau aims to inform people about their options and assist people in making choic- es that suit their skills, interests, time availability and geographical location in the County. A volunteer hurcau is not meant to replace the volunteer recruitment efforts of agencies but is meant to support and enhance them." A similar and very successful centralized recruit- ment program already exists in Sar- nia called Senior VIP. The volun- teer bureau being proposed by LEO would complement the work of Senior VIP in that it would focus on recruiting and placing people in all areas of Lambton County out- side of the City of Sarnia. Phase II of the study involves key informant interviews with ma- jor corporations in the County. LEO has teamed up with Senior VIP in Sarnia to investigate what corporations are doing in the way of retirement planning and volun- teer programs for their employees. Specifically, the two agencies want to find out of corporations would like assistance in establishing vol- unteer programs. LEO and Senior VIP also want to know if corpora- tions are intere&ted in educating their employees on the in, of volunteerism through their existing corporate retirement planning pro- gram. People are retiring much earlier these days by choice or due to the tough economic times that are forc- ing them out of jobs. While previ- ous retirees could expect to retire at age 65, today's retirees could potentially retire 15 years earlier at age 50. At the same time, the need for volunteers has never been greater as many community based agencies deal with funding cut- backs and greater demands for ser- vices. "We have a very talented group of up and coming retirees who have a lot to offer the commu- nity in the way of their experience, skills and knowledge. While plan- ning for the financial, housing and legal aspects of retirement is of great importance, so is planning for use of unobliged or leisure time. Our goal is to encourage peo- ple to consider volunteering as an option for retirement and to edu- cate them on the benefits for both the individual and the community as a whole," said Kelly.
