We are looking to staff two grant writer volunteers. We have recently developed a robust volunteer-driven grant writing program with all the online tools and support volunteers might require onsite and off. We would love to engage experienced grant writers and those who have just graduated with non-profit university and college degrees and who would like to gain experience in the field.
We are seeking funding for the following:
1.Technology for Seniors - Helping Seniors Connect, we believe this project could benefit seniors at every Norwood organization
2.norVOLution Capacity Building - with the intention of expanding our volunteer program to allow senior volunteers to benefit other, not necessarily senior, causes
3.Increasing and improving our green spaces.
4. Senior homelessness
norVOLution is the volunteer program of Norwood Life Society, a non-profit, 501(c3) organization that supports the very best in senior services at Norwood Crossing, a residential and health care campus located in the Norwood Park area of Chicago, and Norwood Seniors Network, a community outreach agency that helps older adults enjoy a safer, more independent lifestyle by bringing affordable services into their homes.

Mission Statement
At nor •VOL• ution we are mission-driven and our vision is an important part of that. We are sponsored by Norwood Life Society; a 501c(3) organization dedicated to enhancing the independence and well-being of older adults. Part of that enhancement is providing meaninful volunteer experiences for all members of our community; with a focus on creating or providing volunteer opportunities specifically for older adults who are looking to give back.
Mission: The purpose of the new organization is to enrich the lives of members of the Norwood Life Society community including the seniors we serve, our volunteers, the staff, and the community at large.
Vision: Our vision is to grow and strengthen our volunteer efforts to: 1) provide more services to our senior clientele, 2) enhance the lives of our volunteers, particularly mature adults, and 3) be of service to the broader community.
Values Statement: We are committed and passionate about the work we do. We respect the personal contribution of each individual and honor the impact they make. We respect our neighbors and work with them to improve the community in which we all reside. We value volunteers for the friendly, caring spirit that has characterized this organization for over 100 years.
Description
Volunteers are welcomed and appreciated by all aspects of our organization. Volunteer opportunities are available in the following places:
Norwood Crossing--This is our assisted living, skilled nursing and sheltered care residence where volunteers provide necessary services and create relationships with our senior adult residents.
Norwood Seniors Network--This is our community outreach affiliate which provides everything from meals-on-wheels to nurse practitioner visits for older adults who prefer to age in their own homes.
Norwood Park Senior Center--We were recently awarded the privilege of co-operating (along with the City of Chicago) a new senior center in our neighborhood. The Senior Center provides a great community meeting spot for older adults in the Norwood Park neighborhood. In addition, clients and guests have access to exercise equipment, food, and beautiful views of the park.
