Volunteer to Become a Trained SHINE Medicare Counselor

Make a difference by helping others navigate Medicare, join our SHINE team!
Medicare can be complicated, but as a trained volunteer you can help by answering questions and providing personalized guidance to members of your community as they enroll in Medicare for the first time, review plan options, or troubleshoot problems. SHIP (State Health Insurance Assistance Program) provides unbiased support to Medicare beneficiaries and their families so they can make informed decisions about their care and benefits.

Volunteering is a chance to give back to your community and serves as an opportunity to stay connected, develop new skills, or build on existing experience and knowledge. In Florida, your local SHIP program is SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders). To learn more about volunteering with SHINE, click here.
