Foundation Communities seeks volunteers to serve as Health Insurance Enrollment Specialists. As an Enrollment Specialist, you will determine clients' eligibility for benefits under the Affordable Care Act, guide them through the application and enrollment process, educate them about the different health insurance plan options and assist them in understanding how health insurance works.
New volunteers will be fully trained, but should be comfortable using a computer. Once training is complete, volunteers are asked to be able to dedicate 30 total hours of volunteer time to this program between November 1 and January 31st. Shift days and times are flexible and in addition to the Stassney location, there will be a location offered at Airport as well.
Potential volunteers should be able to work with clients from all walks of life, be comfortable volunteering in a fast paced environment and be flexible to adjusting changes throughout the enrollment season.
Contact us today to find out more about this fun and unique opportunity.

Mission Statement
engAGE Travis County provides pathways to aging well for people 50+, strengthens communities, and fosters civic engagement through volunteering, education, advocacy, and partnerships with public agencies and community organizations.
Description
One of our core programs, RSVP is part of the federal AmeriCorps Seniors program and was founded locally in 1972. Last year more than 17,100 Americans of all ages and backgrounds united to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and expand opportunity through national service in Texas. AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers served at more than 2,400 locations across Texas, including schools, food banks, homeless shelters, health clinics, youth centers, veterans facilities, and other nonprofit and faith-based organizations.
Those who benefit from the work performed by engAGE Travis County and RSVP volunteers include the full spectrum of people from birth to old age, including homeless or isolated people with acute, chronic or terminal illnesses; frail homebound seniors; low-income families; teen mothers; disaster victims; at-risk youth; veterans; people with physical, mental or learning disabilities; and seniors in nutrition programs.
Help your community by offering your unique skills and talents. We’ll recommend ongoing and short-term volunteer opportunities based on your skills and interests, but the choice of where you volunteer and what you do is entirely yours. The benefits of being a volunteer (aged 50 and over) are numerous: travel reimbursement, on-duty accident and liability insurance, life-long learning opportunities, social engagement, recognition, and greetings throughout the year.
