Apply for an Internship
An internship with MDOA is a perfect way to connect what you're learning in school to the real work of serving older adults and their families. In addition to gaining valuable hands-on experience, you’ll meet dedicated public servants and leaders in the field of aging who can become mentors. You will see firsthand how a state agency works to make a difference in the community. By the end, you’ll walk away with more confidence, a clearer career path, and the satisfaction of knowing you've had a positive impact on the lives of older Marylanders, care providers, and their families.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for Maryland’s older population while developing essential career-building skills in communications, problem-solving, teamwork, and program coordination. The benefits of volunteering go beyond the good feeling that comes from helping others, offering a chance to make new friends and put your skills to work. There are several ways to volunteer for MDOA:
- State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), and Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP): SHIP volunteers are trained to provide unbiased, confidential counseling to help older adults make informed decisions about Medicare enrollment and benefits. SMP volunteers help Medicare beneficiaries prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse. If interested, fill out the SHIP and SMP Volunteer Interest Form.
