About this Opportunity
Choose your own adventure with the PNA’s trail-blazing efforts to create a dementia-friendly community!
The Greenwood Senior Center (GSC), a program of the Phinney Neighborhood Association (PNA), offers a wealth of programming to support people experiencing memory loss and their care partners. Activities are typically weekly, and include
- Song Circle (Mondays)
- Zoo Walk (Tuesdays or Thursdays)
- Gathering Place, a whole-body enrichment class for people experiencing early stage memory loss (Thursdays)
- Memory Cafe, a celebration of now through music, art and other activities (Fridays)
- and more!
We are looking for volunteers interested in working with people experiencing memory loss. Volunteers can choose to commit to a weekly Zoo Walk, or as a sub who rotates between several activities. Time committment is generally 2-4 hours per week, with some flexibility for the sub position; year-long commitment requested. Activities at the Greenwood Senior Center, Phinney Center and Woodland Park Zoo (all in NW Seattle, in the Phinney-Greenwood neighborhood), and accessible by bus.
Volunteer application, background check and confidentiality form required.
