Shepherd’s Center of Northern Virginia
Since 1998, the Shepherd’s Center of Northern Virginia (SCNOVA), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been dedicated to improving the quality of life as we age through supportive programs and services, personal enrichment and volunteer engagement that enable our senior neighbors to live full and productive lives while aging in place. Our 250+ trained and vetted volunteers are medical and companion transportation drivers, friendly callers and visitors, handy helpers, health care advocates, and lifelong learning and cultural enrichment enthusiasts. This volunteer engagement network offers stability, encouragement and hope for connected and healthy lives.
We aspire to alleviate isolation and loneliness through our services and raising awareness of who we are and what we do in the community. Connecting adult children, friends, and neighbors of our seniors with our programs, services and volunteers will bring peace of mind that their loved ones have the opportunity for social interaction and engagement.
We are actively reaching out to our veteran population through our Friendly Caller/Visitors program in an effort to make veteran-to-veteran connections. This chance for engagement increases a sense of well-being and offers care and friendships to our growing client population. We are actively recruiting volunteers and clients in our service areas of: Oakton, Vienna, Reston, Herndon, Great Falls, Dunn Loring and Merrifield.
