We offer many opportunities for volunteering at the center- and we are also very open to new ideas!

Current Volunteer Opportunities

Gardeners/Groundswork: Want to get your hands dirty? Our beautiful garden needs help staying gorgeous. Maintain the grounds by helping water plants, cutting back shrubs, weeding, and/or raking leaves. If you enjoy gardening or ground maintenance this just may be the job for you!

Class Instructor: Do you have a particular talent or skill you would like to share with others? We’re always looking for new class and workshop ideas, so bring your ideas to us! Many of our instructors do receive a minimal fee for their services, call Molly Kimmel at (206) 297-0875 for more information.  

Volunteer Cook: Do you enjoy cooking or baking? We are always in need of good cooks to help out in our kitchen. A volunteer-led team of three cooks lunch each day at the center in addition to a spaghetti dinner once a month. We also need help preparing baked goods for special events. Times are flexible.

Group Opportunities: We do have some opportunities available for groups to serve. Please contact Aura at (206) 297-0875 for more information.

Trip Coordinator: Do you like to travel?  Are you organized?  Join us on monthly trips as the day-of organizer for a group of seniors.

Bingo/Karaoke Helper: Make popcorn, serve hotdogs, or help wrap up the evening with cleanup at our monthly Bingo/Karaoke Nights on the last Friday of the month. 

Server at Special Events: Once a month we have a Spaghetti dinner fundraiser, where we need servers, cashiers and other helpers. 

Computer Lab Helper: We have a beautiful computer lab, and it is always helpful to have those experienced in computer work available to help seniors with their computer problems.

Computer Support: As a small non-profit we rely on volunteers for our technology support. If you would like to work with a team of technology volunteers to keep us upgraded and maintained, contact Kevin Shea by clicking here.
