SHINE Counselors (Serving Health Information Needs of Everyone) provide Medicare beneficiaries and people new to Medicare with free, objective, accurate information regarding health insurance options. Interested volunteers with strong computer and critical thinking skills participate in a 40-hour state certification training program learning the details of Medicare, MassHealth and other state or federal public health benefits. Volunteers are mentored and participate in ongoing education offered monthly, so they are well prepared to provide in person counseling at sites throughout the Minuteman Senior Services region. The SHINE counselor time commitment is between four and ten hours each month.
Please be aware that we are required to do a federal background check on all individuals who wish to volunteer for SHINE.
