Our volunteers are very special people. They bring joy, cheer and varied interests and life experiences into our Home and into the lives of our residents and patients. They can be found visiting with residents, entertaining, running exercise groups, leading discussion groups, helping with cooking demonstrations and more. Volunteers contribute to the quality of life at Greenwood House and help make it the vibrant and warm home it is.

What You Get

Our goal is to make your volunteer experience a valuable one, while benefiting the residents of Greenwood House. By volunteering people give of themselves through their unique gifts and talents.

Whether you have a few hours a week or one hour a month, there is a volunteer opportunity for you at Greenwood House. And if you are a college student interested in gaining practical experience in aging services or a teenager who needs to fulfill a community service requirement for school, we can work together to make your experience at Greenwood House rewarding and educational.

We will provide a tour and orientation for you and volunteer placement will be made based upon a person's interests and availability.

There are many volunteer opportunities to choose from, including:

• Visiting with residents
• Writing and reading letters
• Helping with arts and crafts, exercise and dance programs, card games and bingo
• Leading discussion groups or helping with cooking groups
• Help arrange programs for holiday, birthday and other celebrations
• Play musical instruments or entertain
