Our volunteers make a difference.
They assist clients in many ways, from caring for infants to entertaining seniors.
The Village's broad range of opportunities include:
- Preparing and serving food or assisting in building maintenance in Support Services.
- Helping in our Health Clinic as a dentist, doctor, nurse or medical assistant.
- Caring for and tutoring children in Children’s Services.
- Tutoring adults in ESL, English, math and computers in the Resource Center.
- Assisting residents in one of our Residential Programs.
- Greeting and giving out information at our Front Desk.

been here before and come back because it's
so rewarding to work with the children."

just have fun with my students.

I look at the clients, I see they are all just people like me.
People who need a hand right now so they can do the same for someone else."
