The purpose of Peninsula Volunteers is to help create, through high quality and nurturing programs for the aging, a community in which seniors are engaged, cared for and respected as vital members.

As life expectancy lengthens, communities embrace both opportunities and challenges to help the aging maintain their dignity, independence and sense of usefulness. The mark of any community is in the way it regards and respects its elders and the lessons it conveys to all its citizens.

Peninsula Volunteers provides programs, support and guidance for seniors in our community as they pursue the pathway of a long and useful life.

1. We believe in the dignity and independence of the seniors in our community.
   


2. We believe in returning the abundance that has been given to us by offering our time, our efforts and our resources to those who have served us.
   


3. We are, and will be, responsive to the needs of our aging population and, through collaboration with other organizations, we will strengthen our communityÕs ability to serve the aging.
   


4. We value life, especially for the aging in our community, and strive to exemplify this and other values in everything we do.

To serve the needs of the senior population in San Mateo County, increasing the number of households we touch by 5% per year through 2010.
