The application deadline has been extended until December 20 to encourage those who may be interested in using these teams for Medicare Minutes programs, as well as Sip & Swipe, Strong Bones and existing AMP programs to apply.

Read this testimony from the current Marathon County "See a Need, Take the Lead" project:

"Being part of the Self-Directed Volunteer Team approach has been a very positive experience for our group. The approach has provided direction and focus to do our work efficiently and effectively. Our team is varied in age, background, profession and skill, but we share a common thread. We value and respect the contributions each member brings to the group. We are passionate about providing awareness, knowledge and understanding about healthy aging concepts in our community. The SDVT model/approach has value. The structure provides clear direction and helps us focus our time, energy and effort in a coordinated way. Where there is passion and power, there is impact!" Susan Krolow, RSVP Director, United Way of Marathon County.
