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.
