How We Serve
Achieva Resources advocates for seniors and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We provide guardianship services to individuals who are not able to make medical or advocacy decisions for themselves. Achieva Resources has been able to help over 100 individuals in need of medical, advocacy, health and safety services, and guardianships. Volunteer Training
Prior to beginning training, volunteers in the VAS Program are required to complete an application process that includes providing three written references; authorizations for release of criminal, driving, and social services histories; and participate in a personal screening interview with the program coordinator. History
The Volunteer Advocates for Seniors (VAS) and Disabled Adults Program began in 2013 as an effort to address the health care and social services needs for the ever increasing population of seniors and intellectually/developmentally disabled individuals living in Wayne, Union, and Fayette Counties.
