This RSVP Signature Program is in partnership with the Milwaukee County Department on Aging (MCDA). 

From both their experience and research, MCDA found that many older adults in the community are not aware of the services and resources available to them.  Not having this information led the older adults to choose a service that was not the best fit.  Many times this leads to higher costs or compromised independence for the older adult.

The Senior Ambassador Program is designed to reach out to these older adults to help them learn about the services and resources available to them.

Who are Senior Ambassadors?

Senior Ambassadors are community members who have been trained in the types of resources available to older adults in Milwaukee County.  The travel to locations where older adults gather, such as community centers, congregations, libraries, restaurants, shops and housing facilities.

What do Senior Ambassadors do?

Senior Ambassadors meet one on one with older adults and/or their caregivers.  They discuss potential resources and provide contact information for these resources.

Do Senior Ambassadors recommend certain services?

No.  Senior Ambassadors do not recommend or advocate for particular resources or services.  They provide service information and contact information.
