Give a Gift Beyond Measure... Become a Volunteer
Some gifts are priceless. One such gift is the time our volunteers give to help our residents and Day Care registrants enjoy their days. Our volunteers work with residents, conduct small or large group programs, visit one-on-one or help residents participate in:
  • recreation activities, including games, lectures, trips and sports;
  • physical and occupational therapy;
  • visiting - both one-to-one or in groups;
  • shopping, either as a Gift Shop salesperson or as a resident escort;
  • mealtime companions;
  • clerical assistants;
  • and more!

We offer day, evening and weekend schedules for adults, teens and families. Volunteers must be in good health. An interview and orientation will be scheduled at a convenient time.

Is there a minimum number of hours that I must commit to volunteering?

We encourage volunteers to visit our Center at least once a week in order for the experience to be worthwhile and beneficial for both the volunteer and our residents.

Complete an application, a health assessment and an orientation, which takes about a week and then you may begin volunteering.
