Sunrise Senior College is a member-run, all volunteer organization. Volunteers find instructors, focusing on a wide spectrum of interests. Instructors volunteer their time to share their passion and special interests. Volunteers schedule classes to meet the needs of instructors and students, and volunteers do the work to publish course information on SSC’s website, and to publicize the information to media outlets in Washington County and statewide through the Maine Senior College Network. Little things, big things, every aspect of making SSC a success is done by our volunteers.
Some of the volunteer positions require a long-term commitment, such as serving on the board of directors, others only ask one part of one day a year! There is an opportunity to help support this incredible organization on every level of commitment.
As a volunteer, you can make new friends and collegial relationships and be part of an exciting program.
If you are willing to help on any level, please contact us. We’ll be happy to find a place that is just your fit!
