Jewish Family Services of Los Angeles (JFS) is seeking volunteers ages 55 and older to become health and wellness coaches for seniors.

Volunteers offer peer companion services to older adults in the community and enhance the lives of seniors by spending quality time together, and accompanying seniors on shopping trips, to doctor’s appointments and social outings.

Volunteers also monitor the well being of their peers, identify changing needs and assist with accessing community resources.

Health and wellness coaches will benefit from professional training, and help seniors to live independently in their communities.

For information, call Erika Zambrano-Morales, MA, at (213)260-7919, or visit www.jfsla.org.
