Assist with Arts & Crafts - Brentwood

Unlock your creative talents and help the participants at FiftyForward Friends in Brentwood do the same!  Volunteers are needed to help our Friends with arts & crafts activities that are planned and led by staff. No artistic talent is needed, just patience and an appreciation for freedom of expression.  Volunteers will assist one-on-one or in small groups as Friends complete simple projects that bring them joy. Volunteers should be able to complete simple "craft" tasks that include scissoring, tying simple knots, and other fine motor skills. Most importantly, volunteers should be comfortable conversing with older adults and encouraging their creativity.

Additional tasks may include:  

• Assisting with room set-up or reset  
• Small clean-ups as necessary  
• Engaging participants in conversation   

Our Brentwood Arts & Crafts volunteer opportunity occurs indoors in an ADA-compliant building with free parking, ample seating, restrooms and filtered water. 

FiftyForward Friends Brentwood is a licensed program where adults 50 and older - who may have cognitive, memory, or physical needs - can continue to thrive and enjoy an active life. Our nurturing and supportive day program features a variety of engaging, fun activities that encourage daily learning, social interaction and connection, and an enhanced quality of life.  This program is located within the FiftyForward Martin Center on Heritage Way, just off Concord Road.

Volunteers help provide engagement and a sense of community for FiftyForward Friends clients. By bringing their own passions and interests to share in the Friends space, volunteers help clients to reconnect with their sense of self.
