Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

What are the advantages to joining Volunteer Delaware 50+?

Is there a fee for joining Volunteer Delaware 50+?

No. Volunteer Delaware 50+ does not charge a fee or collect dues for its services.

Can I join Volunteer Delaware 50+ and continue serving where I am?

Yes. If you are currently volunteering at one of Volunteer Delaware’s community partners, you can become a member and stay right where you are. If you serve at a non-profit that is not currently a Volunteer Delaware 50+ partner, we welcome the opportunity to discuss becoming partners.

Will I be contacted to do other things?

Some of our members like to know about upcoming one-time or short-term projects. All Volunteer Delaware 50+ members receive a monthly volunteer opportunity mailing that they are free to respond to if they choose. Volunteers may ask to be removed from the mailing list if they are not interested in additional volunteer opportunities.

Why does Volunteer Delaware 50+ need to know my hours each month?

It is important we receive your volunteer hours. We record your hours each month and those with enough volunteer hours receive an invitation to an annual recognition event. When we do not receive hours for a member, he or she becomes “inactive.” Inactive volunteers are not covered by our supplemental insurance.
