About Community Volunteer Network
Changing Lives, Building Connection
Community Volunteer Network (CVN) is a nonprofit organization that provides direct services and meaningful volunteer opportunities for older adults (age 55+) to enrich the lives of people in our Southern Oregon community. With the help of local volunteers, we offer transportation services, peer counseling services, and Medicare assistance.
What is the Call-A-Ride Program, and how does it work?
Call-A-Ride is a vital CVN initiative established to provide support to local seniors in need of transportation.
