How PAFC's SDVTs Engage Community

by Myles Crane, PAFC Board Chair

PAFC’s Self-Directed Volunteer Teams (SDVTs) are groups of community volunteers who work together independently to achieve specific project outcomes. There's often a participant coordinator rather than a designated project leader, and there is minimal direct supervision. Typically, projects last for specified time periods, often a couple of months. 

SDVT projects promote livable communities for all ages with dedicated grass-roots efforts to address the challenges of aging.

PAFC is currently implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Training designed to assist older adults as well as their caregivers in identifying resources and opportunities to enhance quality of life. We are also considering collaboration with CSU and/or other organizations in this initiative.

Another PAFC project is in process for building an SDVT to address the critical shortage of the Long-Term Care workforce in Colorado. 

If you are interested in volunteering to participate in an SDVT or simply just want to attend a PAFC Steering Committee meeting to learn about our projects, please contact PAFC’s Executive Director, Kristy Wygmans at ed@pafclarimer.org.
