Agency offices in Rock Island. Mileage and
lunch are furnished.
Potential members should be interested in
programs for persons over 60 years of age.
Actual involvement with such programs is a plus.

The Western Illinois Area Agency on Aging is
a non-profit corporation created for the purpose of
improving the quality of life for older Americans.
The specific objectives of the agency are threefold:
to enable older adults to live in their own homes as
long as possible with appropriate supportive
services; to remove individual and social barriers
to economic and personal independence
for older persons including the provision of
opportunities for employment and volunteer
activities; and to act as an advocate for older
persons in developing community resources for the
aged throughout the ten county area while providing
a comprehensive service network.
