NeighborLink Indianapolis provides free home repairs and related services for low income seniors and those with disabilities who are homeowners living in Marion County. We are able to provide these services at no charge to the homeowner because we rely on volunteers. We need volunteers interested in becoming Site Managers to manage small groups of volunteers(usually 5-15) for a scheduled project at a client's home. Group projects are generally outdoor related (yard/clean up, painting) and occur over a three hour time period.
The Site Manager arrives before the group volunteers, greets the homeowner and prepare tools and materials delivered in advance to the site. H/She greets and orients the volunteers and sets them up to work. Throughout the project, the Site Manager is responsible for managing the volunteers to the tasks at hand, keeping the workflow going, solving any problems should they arise and ensuring a safe and positive volunteer environment at all times. The Site Manager is expected to leave the project site in good condition and ensure the client homeowner is satisfied. Site Managers are generally scheduled at least two weeks out for a group project. Training and orientation to the role are provided.
Email us at volunteer@nlindy.org with your interest and/or any questions you have.

Mission Statement
NeighborLink Indianapolis mission is to help older adults and individuals with disabilities who own their own homes age in place safely and with dignity. We do this by providing home repair at no cost to the homeowner.
Description
We focus on home repairs that enable the homeowner to age in place safely, stabilize the home for years to come, and provide an improved appearance for the neighborhood at large. Many of the repairs we provide would be able to be done by the homeowner if they had the means or physical ability. By using volunteers we are able to help the homeowner as well as provide that intimate experience of truly being the hands and able-body for someone else.
Most older adults want to age in the most affordable home-the one they own. Aging in place allows older adults some level of autonomy and dignity over their own health and decisions. It allows many to remain within communities they’ve been a part of for decades. Social determinants of health, particularly including the ability to keep their home safe and accommodating to their physical needs, are among some of the most challenging barriers to aging in place.
