Caregiver Resource Center Advisory Board Member Application (2026)

The Caregiver Advisory Board at the Senior Friendship Centers' Caregiver Resource Center is a new program designed to give caregivers who've utilized our services an opportunity to share their lived experiences, ideas, and perspectives to help shape programs and services for caregivers in our community. Advisory board members will participate in four meetings per year, along with occasional opportunities to provide feedback, support advocacy efforts, or participate in special events. 

We anticipate participation will require approximately 12–20 hours throughout the year, recognizing that caregivers’ schedules and availability may vary. Caregivers interested in making a meaningful impact are encouraged to apply. We welcome applications from both current and former caregivers who have utilized the services of our Caregiver Resource Center and Adult Day Programs. 

In the application, you may indicate whether you are applying for the Caregiver Advisory Board in Sarasota or Venice.  For assistance with the application contact Evan Farrar at efarrar@friendshipcenters.org or 941-203-7043.
