VICAP Volunteer

Interested in learning more about Medicare & related insurance? Medicare counselors help people to understand and access benefits through the Virginia Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program (VICAP). We especially need bilingual volunteers. No experience required - training is provided. We assist people in Arlington and the City of Alexandria. VICAP volunteers are specially trained Personal Advocates who educate, counsel and assist people with Medicare and their caregivers. They empower older adults to prevent healthcare fraud. Volunteers receive group and one to one training and the information to perform the job with precision and ease. Whatever your interest, we have a place for you: counselor; outreach assistant; publicist; administrative support or article writer. We need volunteers who are free primarily during business hours, occasional evenings and weekends. For more information, please call 703-228-1700, Aging & Disability Services Division, and ask for the VICAP program. This opportunity is sponsored by The Alexandria City and Arlington County Aging and Adult Services Divisions.
