OUTREACH, PEER SUPPORT SERVICES, ADVOCACY + RESEARCH
OUTREACH
Involves information and education provided by seminars, events, Senior Line Magazine and this website. Our goal is to prevent isolation and frailty by means of reaching out with these programs.
PEER SUPPORT SERVICES
Involves services provided to frail and isolated seniors by trained, dedicated volunteers. Our goal is to improve the quality of life of seniors needing our service.
ADVOCACY
Involves determining the needs and relevant issues of our seniors and responding in a concrete manner. Our goal is to represent these needs to Local, Provincial and Federal Governments.
RESEARCH
Involves evaluating the needs and opinions of seniors in order to establish services. Our goal is to always ask the questions required to establish the needs of our population.
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
The Jewish Seniors Alliance of Greater Vancouver is a non-profit volunteer driven organization for all seniors over the age of 55, regardless of their gender, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical/mental ability, socio-economic status and religious/political belief systems.
The Organization aims to inform, support and involve seniors in a contemporary complex world and to promote active community and social involvement and wellness. Acting on the needs of seniors in the Lower Mainland and their organizations, the JSA responds to concerns with governments, the public, agencies, and funding groups.
Our outreach includes the JSA Senior Line Magazine, published three times annually, and distributed to over 5,000 households, community centres, seniors’ facilities, libraries, local pharmacies, and businesses.
