Volunteer training begins upon completion of an application and acceptance as a volunteer. For the safety of our residents, volunteers must complete a background check, including fingerprinting, and two-step TB test. Once training is completed we offer many areas to volunteer: Activities and Outings, Companions, Bingo Callers, Canteen Support, Special Event Support, Clerical Support, Transporters and Group Facility Projects. Our Home offers more than 70 Activities and Outings per month. During an off-site outing, we match a volunteer with a resident for the duration of the trip. We offer volunteer meal expense reimbursement and paid admission to specialty venues.
