Maine Association of Retirees (MAR)
The Maine Association of Retirees (MAR) exists to protect and expand the rights and benefits of Maine retired teachers, state/county/municipal government employees, and to support a fiscally-sound retirement system. MAR has 15,000+ members. One of the benefits MAR offers to its members is reimbursement of senior college costs (up to $25/year) for active participation.
MCOA believes in a Maine where we can all live healthy, engaged, and secure lives with choices and opportunities as we age in our homes and communities. We know Maine can be a place that embraces and values the vital contributions and energy we have to offer to the next generations, our communities, and our economy as we get better with age.
RSVP of Hancock, Penobscot, Piscataquis, and Washington Counties
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is one of the largest senior volunteer organizations nationally. RSVP engages adults, 55 years and older, in volunteer service that utilizes their skills, knowledge, and experience to improve the lives of others in their communities. RSVP volunteers help young children enhance literacy skills, tutor elementary age children in math and science, help seniors improve bone density, strength and balance through exercise, helps seniors stay in their own homes through meal delivery, transportation, respite for caregivers and companionship, as well as support local veterans as they access services, undergo rehabilitation and transition back to civilian life. RSVP volunteers say their volunteer service keeps them active and engaged in their communities and also keeps them young.

The mission of the Center is to promote and facilitate activities on aging in the areas of education, research and evaluation, and community service to maximize the quality of life of older citizens and their families in Maine and beyond.
