About this Opportunity

Are you and your family looking for something you can all do together? How about providing respite to caregivers of older adults, or caregivers to those with disabilities? By doing this you are giving these caregivers, who often put their wellbeing on hold, a break. Your family would be providing companionship to the care receiver by exploring mutual interests whether thats building puzzles, playing games, watching movies etc. During this time the caregiver can do what they need to do. Volunteers are not expected to, nor should they be asked to help the clients in the bathroom, with medications or other personal tasks. Our current volunteers really like the bond they build with the families and how much of an impact they make on our clients lives. It would be a great family bonding experience spending time together helping others. We have no set time for volunteers and clients to meet so you can volunteer on your schedule. We do ask for a 2 hour/week and 3-month commitment.
