    Our organization is growing and supporting more older adults, and we invite you to join our team as an intern and work with our 6 staff and over 120 volunteers.

    Eaton Fire Relief & Recovery

    Over 90 of the older adults in our network evacuated or sought shelter elsewhere since the Eaton Fire began on January 7. Twenty-three lost their homes and almost all of their possessions. About 20 additional older adults in our community are still displaced. Due to generous funders, we are expanding our outreach to support more older adults impacted by the fires. Approximately 30% of our current staff and volunteer efforts are still focused on relief and recovery.

    • 10-18 hours/week
    • Onsite work at the Pasadena Village Office, 236 W. Mountain St, #113, Pasadena, CA 91103 or at programs and events in the greater Pasadena area
    • Option for some remote work in CA (after initial training)
    • Duration August – December 2025
    • Schedule flexible, must have availability on Wednesdays and Saturdays
