Why Should You Volunteer?
People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons. For some, it offers the chance to give something back to the community or make a difference to the people around them. For others, it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge. Regardless of the motivation, what unites us all is that we find value in giving back.
Volunteer services are an essential part of Vintage. We are looking for individuals who are committed and willing to serve their community. We offer rewarding volunteer opportunities right here in the mountain communities we know and love.

Volunteer Opportunities in the Region
Medicare Counselors
The State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) enables thousands of Colorado Medicare beneficiaries to get quality, confidential counseling assistance that helps them better understand their Medicare options and rights, make informed choices, and crucially, save money.
Imagine – your assistance can mean the difference between someone affording or not affording their monthly medications, learning about health plans best suited to them, or saving enough money to see a grandchild for the first time. Without SHIP volunteers, our program could not exist, meaning thousands of Colorado Medicare beneficiaries could be left to navigate the Medicare system on their own each year, resulting in increased costs, lost opportunities, poor healthcare choices, and penalties. If you are interested in being a certified SHIP Medicare Counselor, fill out the application below and send it back to us.
