We need you!
Research shows that adults over 50 who volunteer have lower rates of depression and mortality and greater functional ability than those who do not volunteer. And as a CATCH volunteer, you are not only helping promote healthy habits for kids but also gaining that experience for yourself! There are tons of ways to get involved! We work with your schedule and allow you to be as active as you want!
Looking to make a difference; CATCH is for you!
Looking to be more active in your daily life; CATCH is for you!
