For Immediate Release-June 22, 2006

The Fairfax Area Agency on Aging and local Korean community organizations are working together to create a volunteer-based program for Korean seniors in our community.

Bilingual (Korean / English) volunteers are needed to offer telephone assistance to Korean-speaking older adults who need resources and services. Familiarity with the Internet is also needed. Ongoing training and support will be provided.
