Volunteer Opportunities in the New Year
ORGANIZATION: Coastside Adult Day Health Center
Please visit the new page to apply.
We need a friendly face at our reception desk! We need a welcoming voice to answer our phones! Our Director needs an assistant!
This is a great entry level opportunity for someone to learn about seniors, the disabled, non-profits, medical records, telephone skills, and other administrative duties.
I am the Program Director and I have been answering my own phones for about 18 months now. I could seriously use some relief.
This will give the right person a chance to give support and assistance to seniors and to their families who are looking for some answers and resources. You will hear the gratitude in their voices, which is a great benefit to the position.
In addition, you get to know some wonderful senior folks, who have great stamina and endurance, carry with them a wonderful sense of humor, and who can share wisdom with you.
This truly is a blessed place. Wonderful things happen every day here. Come and be part of it!
The need right now is for Tuesday through Friday from 8:30-2:00. But if you can give us an hour or two each week, that would be appreciated as well.
