We need a couple experienced volunteers who can help with small residential electrical repair projects at homes on the north side of Indianapolis. NeighborLink Indy does free home repair and maintenance for low-income seniors and disabled homeowners. We help these good people stay safely in their own homes. The work schedule is flexible. We would call you periodically and ask for your help with a specific repair and get something scheduled. You could work alone or with one of our other electrical volunteers.
Typical work might be replacing or installing new light fixtures, outlets or switches. You might be diagnosing why lights don’t work or how to deal with overloaded circuits or make situations safer for the homeowner.
You will be benefiting senior and disabled homeowners who have no one else to turn to for help. We'll show you how it all works and let you try a project or two before you commit to anything. Please help if you can. You'll be doing a great kindness and we really need your help right now! Email dave@nlindy.org or call 317 286-2740 and ask for Terence or Norm. Thanks!

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.
