About this Opportunity

It is 2025 and there is still a chance for you and 2 of your closest friends to help us reach 25 new volunteers! What would you do?....just be nice to a neighbor who is blind - help them sort and read mail, drop it into the file cabinet, take them to the grocery store or shop with their list when you get your own things. Take a walk or sit outdoors when the weather is nice and have a friendly visit or a chat. If you are available during the day, a trip to a local doctor's office would help a lot but is not a requirement. There is so much you can do to make someone feel special - there is no limit to the joy!

Requirements to be a great volunteer include:

  • a desire to help others;
  • a pleasant demeanor;
  • a good reading/speaking voice;
  • average reading skills;
  • organizational or planning abilities;
  • a good driving record;
  • a clear criminal history;
  • two references
  • access to a car with proof of insurance;
  • a minimum of $50/100k liability and $5,000 of property damage coverage - don't have it; don't worry we have work-arounds.

Skills/Interests

  • Administrative
