(109 words or less) <br /> Volunteer Connect 55+ (VC55+) is a program of the OCDoA to enrich the lives of Orange <br /> County residents, both as volunteers of all ages and as older adult recipients of <br /> services provided by volunteers. VC55+'s volunteer opportunities work to combat social <br /> isolation and to encourage aging in place, for both volunteers and program recipients alike, <br /> including the VITA, SHIP, Volunteer Drivers, Friend-to-Friend, Telephone Reassurance, <br /> Community Visitation, and Handy Helpers Programs. VC55+ aligns with the towns' goal <br /> that residents improve their health outcomes by demonstrating new healthy lifestyle <br /> behaviors: volunteers report new social connections, along with improved mental and <br /> physical well-being. <br /> 7.Target Population: Please complete the table below with numbers(not percentages)of individuals served <br /> and projected to be served. <br /> • �...•.-- _ �,,,�.,.... •=•..� ,.:P.ro ram Tar 2tPo ulation:pemo ra hits.::-'.:. <br /> Projected Actual Estimated Projected <br /> 2017-18 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 <br /> �. ::M'i '�.'�'!''{" �::`ti:5.,� u '+tii''•'';�iw� �1r.':1~`�'�-3• ,ti7^�s;�..3 rs� ,.,,•' <br /> Men 150 112 135 135 <br /> Women 350 308 315 315 <br /> N onbinary/Genderq weer <br /> Self-Describe <br /> Total Volunteers 500 420 450 450 <br /> i;".`. i•;Owl <br /> ���,�,•: ;y k'•'•v"cre.
