Most advocacy roles focus on reports, policies, and passing the baton. Not here. At Seniors In Distress, we do not measure success by paperwork—we measure it by the lives we protect and the dignity we restore.
Instead of waiting for permission or instructions, you will take immediate action—listening closely, stepping in boldly, and staying engaged until real change happens. This role is for those who will not turn away from a senior in need and who believe every moment counts when fighting neglect and abuse.
This is not a support role
This is protection
At Seniors In Distress, we do not look for people to just show up—we look for people who will stand up. Seniors across our communities are suffering, overlooked, or mistreated.
A Seniors Advocate is the one who sees what others miss, says what others will not, and acts when no one else does.
We do not need performers
We need protectors
- What will you do when a senior is mistreated
- How far will you go to make it right
- Why is protecting someone more important than being liked
Your mission
- Be Present – Show up for seniors who feel forgotten, unheard, or unsafe
- Listen for What Is Not Said – Hear between the words to catch signs of mistreatment, hesitation, or fear that others might miss
- Act With Urgency – Make the first move, the follow-up call, the documented report—before harm gets worse
- Support With Purpose – Offer resources, next steps, and emotional guidance that truly meet seniors' needs
- Speak Truth to Power – Raise red flags, challenge the silence, and advocate relentlessly even when it is uncomfortable
- Follow Through – Stay connected until seniors receive the care and protection they deserve—no matter how long it takes
Who should apply
This is not a role for the passive or polite. This is for someone who sees a senior being mistreated and refuses to look away—someone who believes that no elder should suffer in silence, and who is ready to speak boldly, act with urgency, and protect relentlessly, no matter who is watching.
If that is you, skip the formalities. Instead, tell us:
✅ What injustice you are no longer willing to ignore
✅ How you will stand up for seniors facing mistreatment
✅ Why advocacy feels personal to you
This is not a career path—it is a calling.
If you are ready to protect, we are ready to stand with you.

Most organizations build boards by chasing titles, stacking résumés, or filling seats with familiar names. At Seniors In Distress, we do the opposite. We are not interested in prestige or passive presence—we are building a board that will show up, speak out, and act when seniors are in distress. We want leaders who lead with courage, not convenience. This is not about governance from a distance—it is about guardianship up close.
We do not just form a board
We build leadership
At Seniors In Distress, we do not believe in filling seats with names or titles. We believe in building a board that protects, acts, and leads—a board that shows up when seniors are in distress.
As our Board Development Advocate, you will not simply recruit advisors, you will shape the leadership backbone of our mission. Your role is to help us create a Board of Directors that stands for zero tolerance, compassion, and action.
We do not ask who you know
We ask what you stand for
- How will you help us build a board that demands change in senior care, protection, and support
- What kind of leadership does it take to stop neglect, abuse, and fraud against seniors
- How can our board become a louder voice for the unheard
Your mission
- Build a Purpose-Driven Board – Identify and recruit board members who are active, committed, and willing to lead with heart—not just influence
- Establish Standards That Matter – Create expectations for board service that go beyond policy—standards rooted in integrity, urgency, and accountability
- Drive Accountability – Help shape a board culture that calls out silence, rewards courage, and demands results for seniors
- Create the Blueprint for Leadership – Define what true representation and advocacy should look like at the top and make sure we get there
Who should apply
We are not looking for someone to pull from a Rolodex. We are looking for someone who believes the right board can stop the wrong people from hurting seniors.
If that is you, skip the resume.
Tell us:
✅ What kind of leadership seniors need today
✅ How you would shape a board that speaks truth to power
✅ Why you believe building the right board is your mission
This is not advisory work—it is advocacy at the highest level.
Help us build the leadership our seniors deserve.

Many social media jobs focus heavily on building brands or boosting visibility. Not this one. At Seniors In Distress, social media is a tool to protect the voices that are rarely online but deeply impacted—our seniors. The focus is on reaching their children, caregivers, and communities. This role is not about posting to impress but about exposing injustice, rallying support, and creating a safer world for aging parents everywhere.
We do not want clicks
We want change
While typical social media roles chase metrics, impressions, and “likes,”
at Seniors In Distress, we use our voice to protect those who are too often ignored.
As our Social Media Advocate, your job is not to grow a following—it is to lead a movement. You will turn posts into action, stories into advocacy, and attention into outcomes that protect and care for seniors.
We are not hiring for aesthetic
We are hiring for impact
- How will you use social media to shine a light on senior mistreatment
- What stories will you tell that move people from passive scrolling to purposeful action
- How can you make advocacy go viral for the right reasons
Your mission
- Lead with Purpose – Use social media as a frontline tool for advocacy, not just promotion
- Protect the Voice of the Vulnerable – Share stories that dignify, expose, and activate
- Create Content That Moves – Educate, engage, and drive public response to neglect, abuse, and fraud against seniors
- Build Community – Connect with caregivers, allies, seniors, and supporters to grow an online movement of protectors
Who should apply
This is not about hashtags and highlight reels. It is about grit, truth, and storytelling that holds the world accountable. If you know how to use your voice to defend someone else’s life, we want you on our team.
Skip the portfolio—we want to know:
✅ What story you want to tell for seniors.
✅ How you will make social media serve justice.
✅ Why your words will not be ignored.
This is not a marketing job.
This is frontline digital advocacy.

Most seniors are not online, but the people who make decisions for them are. From adult children to caregivers to community allies, the digital world shapes how people see and respond to senior mistreatment. That is why our digital media strategy is not built around promotion—it is built around protection.
We do not just share content
We ignite impact
Many digital media roles focus on clicks, views, or viral trends. Not this one. At Seniors In Distress, digital media is a powerful tool to amplify voices that often go unheard—our seniors and their families.
Your mission is not to chase popularity but to deliver real, meaningful stories and campaigns that protect, inform, and mobilize communities around senior care and protection.
We are not hiring for buzz
We hire for purpose
- How will you harness digital media to expose neglect, abuse, and fraud against seniors
- What innovative strategies will you use to engage diverse audiences beyond the usual platforms
- How will you turn digital presence into real-world outcomes for seniors and their Advocates
Your mission
- Lead with Impact – Use digital media channels as a frontline platform for advocacy, education, and empowerment
- Elevate Vulnerable Voices – Share compelling, dignified stories that inspire awareness and action
- Drive Campaigns That Matter – Develop and execute digital initiatives that expose injustice and promote senior protection
- Build Bridges Online – Connect seniors, caregivers, advocates, and allies into a unified digital community of support
Who should apply
This is not a role for those chasing trends or empty metrics. It is for the dedicated advocate who sees digital media as a lifeline for seniors.
Skip the standard portfolio—we want to hear:
✅ What impact you want to create for seniors through digital media
✅ How you will use digital platforms to serve justice and protection
✅ Why your digital voice will be a beacon, not just background noise
This is not a marketing role.
This is digital advocacy that saves lives.
Why work here
Seniors In Distress is a volunteer nonprofit powered by people who care deeply about protecting older adults from abuse, neglect, and fraud. Whether you are behind a desk or on the front lines, you are not just giving your time; you are protecting lives.
We understand advocacy must fit real life, which is why we offer:
- Remote work — serve from anywhere with internet access
- Flexible hours — work around your schedule, not ours
- Weekly stipends up to $500 — depending on assignment and hours
- Hands-on training — we prepare you for real advocacy
- Purpose-driven culture — everything we do protects older adults
- Path to full-time opportunities — we invest in those who stay committed
What we look for
We believe in training advocates—not just hiring for roles. But we do look for a certain mindset:
- You follow through and take accountability
- You communicate clearly, even when the message is hard
- You bring maturity and professionalism to everything you do
- You value diversity and cultural respect
- You stay focused on solutions, not just problems
- You are here for impact, not applause
Who does not thrive here
We are not the right fit for everyone—and that is intentional. Our mission demands commitment, accountability, and heart. You will struggle here if you always:
- Wait for others to act before stepping up
- Prefer comfort over urgency
- Need constant oversight to stay motivated
- Are uncomfortable with direct conversations about abuse or neglect
- Want a job more than a mission
If that is not you, welcome. You are exactly who we are here to support.
