Volunteers are invaluable members of our extended care team.
As a non-profit community, however, they are especially important to the enhancement of our healthcare center, where they bring the outside community ‘in’ to many of the residents. The ages of volunteers vary and include high school and college students, housewives, retired individuals, full-time workers and several of our own residents.
Some volunteers earn academic credit for their experience for careers in related fields of study. However, most volunteer for the sheer personal satisfaction of helping others. Hours, duties and commitment levels of our volunteer team vary greatly and are scheduled to suit the individual needs and skill levels of each.
Please see our available opportunities below for more information on becoming a special part of our outstanding staff of volunteers. For further information regarding our variety of volunteer opportunities, please contact Rita Nadeau-Breive at 860.229.3707 or fill out a volunteer application.
