A more meaningful retirement is in your reach

There are more than 22 million retirees in the United States suffering from lack of purpose and connection. At Spry Forward, we have created a solution to this issue through our community-based services that easily and safely connect underutilized talent to worthy opportunities.

Our process is simple and completely led by you

When you contact us, we collect your name, mobile number, zip code, and preference of volunteer work. Our system then pairs you with organizations that match your values and location. Your information is completely safe with us!

We will gather your preferences to match you with an organization aligned with your values and passions via text messages.

Step Two

You'll be notified when we're able to connect you to an opportunity. This can take up to two weeks depending on availability.

Shortly after, you'll be on your way to making a real and tangible difference in your community! Pretty quick and easy, isn't it?
We've partnered with a diverse group of organizations that accept volunteers with a variety of availability. Whether you'd like to volunteer on your own or with a group, we offer options to meet your needs. A handful of them are listed below.

“After retiring at 66, I really missed my old routine and coworkers. I had no idea how to navigate the Internet so that I could  find an opportunity that would fulfill my needs. It wasn't until a member of my church recommended I check out Spry Forward. It's really changed my life!"

“When my teaching career ended years ago, I suffered from loneliness and depression, especially after losing my husband in 2008. Spry Forward has afforded me the opportunity to meet new people, to travel, and to give back to my community, thus bringing meaning into my life again.”
