TSCOR: Who We Are, What We Do
Open University and Lifelong Learning
TSCOR’s lifelong learning programs are currently online via Zoom. Open University is the most popular, but we’ve got a few others, too! Stay connected and engaged – we’d love to see you online until we can safely meet together again in person.
Do You Have the Drive?
TSCOR volunteer drivers give clients rides to medical appointments and provide no-contact grocery delivery service. Volunteering is easy with online scheduling that puts you in charge. Drivers and grocery shoppers are needed now more than ever. New volunteers are welcomed! Take a virtual drive and see the positive impact you can make in someone else’s life – and yours.

“I’ve had great experiences driving our clients to their appointments. It’s fun to meet new people and learning about their lives is fascinating and eye opening. Everyone has a story to tell. I’m enjoying volunteering immensely.”
