Description

Retired? Retiring? Replace Your Purpose with Service to a Neighbor and Keep Your Brain Active

You know those first few years after retirement are critical to maintaining good cognitive health after the rigors of employment are in the rearview mirror. Volunteering maintains those neural pathways and executive processing skills - scheduling, planning, negotiating, juggling priorities, navigating and feeling productive - all those can diminish if you don't stay busy. WE can help. Find out how taking a person who has legal blindness out to the farmer's market can keep your brain sharp! If you are finished working for shareholder profits and eager to work for a better community - there's still time. Opportunities are in most Connecticut towns so reach out today!
