Volunteer

Volunteers make a difference! At the Waterbury Senior Center, we have only three staff members. The majority of the work done is by volunteers. We couldn’t exist without them! Join our team and be part of something great. We need your help to offer great programs and events, and you can gain valuable experience and give back to the community.
