Spring is in the air and your skills are needed at Benevilla. Benevilla is looking for warm, outgoing and caring people to become a Benevilla Home Services Volunteer. Benevilla Home Service Volunteers provide essential services to Senior Citizens and others in need.
Benevilla Home Service Volunteers may assist with door-through-door transportation to and from medical and other appointments. Please Note:members/clients served in this program are able to walk on their own, they simply are not able to drive on their own anymore. Volunteers will not be required to lift passengers or transport wheelchairs.
Benevilla Home Service Volunteers may run errands such as grocery shopping or picking up supplies.
In addition to visiting regularly with your new friend, a Benevilla Home Service Volunteer may assist with light housekeeping or maintenance tasks such as changing a light bulb or retrieving an item from a tall shelf. Assisting with pet care is also appreciated.
Volunteers are responsible for following specific requirements for each task as outlined in required training. Current driver's license and proof of insurance, a background check, and personal references are required. Benevilla Orientation and training are provided.
Our office is located in Surprise but we have opportunities in the Avondale, Buckeye, Tolleson, Goodyear, or Litchfield Park area. We will work with you to meet your choice of area.

Mission Statement
Enhancing the experiences of life for people of all ages. We envision a world in which people thrive, control their own destinies and age gracefully.
Description
Benevilla is a not-for-profit human services agency that has been providing care to residents of the Northwest Valley since 1981. We are dedicated to "cultivating a caring community" by providing assistance to seniors, caring for adults with disabilities, helping children learn life skills and we extend that experience to the caregivers of each age group.
Through a network of six adult day centers (located in Sun City, Sun City West, Peoria and Surprise), support groups, educational services and partnering with the VA, we provide a very personalized care program. This promotes independence and instills a sense of dignity and self-empowerment, regardless of the ability to pay. Not only do these services offer assistance to clients themselves, but many programs also address the ongoing and changing needs of the family members who provide the daily care to their loved ones.
We also offer intergenerational programs designed to bring together children, families and older adults in a unique setting on our main campus at Wirtzie's Child Development Center.
In addition, our 900+ volunteers provide services to older adults to help them stay independent in their homes. By grocery shopping, providing transportation to medical appointments, friendly visitors and handymen, we assist area residents to maintain a higher quality of life. This helps them to remain in the comfortable setting of their familiar surroundings
