Neighbor 2 Neighbor is a volunteer referral program focused on recruiting volunteers for several agencies that share the goal of helping to keep older and disabled adults independent. Volunteer opportunities with the different agencies include social visits, home chores and respite activities. Volunteers who contact N2N and complete a brief questionnaire are matched with the appropriate agency based on their interests and time availability.

Description:
Neighbor 2 Neighbor is a collaboration of 11 non-profit agencies who serve older adults and people with disabilities in Dane County. These agencies are: Access to Independence, Catholic Charities, Colonial Club Senior Activity Center, Community Development Authority, East Madison/Monona Coalition of the Aging, Family Support and Resource Center Respite Care Program, Home Health United, Independent Living, Inc., North/Eastside Senior Coalition, South Madison Senior Coalition and West Madison Senior Coalition. These 11 agencies combine efforts to increase awareness of the need for volunteers and to recruit volunteers to ensure that older adults and people with disabilities can remain independent.

History:
Neighbor 2 Neighbor began in 2004 under the name of Volunteers in Gear (VIG). It was funded by United Way of Dane County and facilitated by Independent Living, Inc.
