Make a Meaningful Difference-Volunteer with Community Caregivers!

Do you have a few hours a week to brighten someone’s day?

Community Caregivers is looking for compassionate volunteers to help older adults in Albany, Renssealer and parts of Schenectady County to remain independent and connected. Many of our neighbors live alone and need a friendly face to help with simple tasks like grocery shopping, providing a ride to a medical appointment, or just sharing a conversation.

With flexible opportunities and training provided, volunteering is easy-and incredibly rewarding.

Join us and be the reason someone feels cared for.

We are a non-profit agency supported by community donations, and grants from The Albany County Department for Aging, the NYS Department of Health and Office for the Aging & the U.S. Administration on Aging.

There is no fee for any of our services.
