Corporate Group Opportunity: Host a New Year-New Home Party for low-income seniors!

Save to Favorites

This volunteer opportunity is for groups only!

Corporate or Community Groups can sign up for this opportunity to host an event at our newly constructed affordable housing site in Fremont. The resident seniors have been moving in throughout Nov-Dec to their new home. We are hoping to throw the new residents a "New Home, New Year" Housewarming Party. Build community and celebrate the New Year by planning a party for our seniors: decorating, hosting games and crafts, and serving food. These events are generally hosted during regular business hours, and we cannot host groups over the weekend. We also ask that the groups plan the event (with staff support and input) and bring any needed supplies (although we generally have some supplies onsite). For housewarming/New Year parties in the past we have hosted groups who've hosted BBQs, played Bingo, made door-wreaths and other housewarming crafts. Some groups have also sponsored the seniors living onsite and purchased "Welcome Home" gifts for them. We will work with you to design and plan a fun and interactive event!

Duties:

Volunteer group will plan and host an event geared for seniors living onsite. Purchase any decorations or supplies needed for activities, raffles, etc. Set the tables and serve food. Build community-sit and talk with seniors and engage with them. Clean and clear community space on site, pack up all items brought.

Skills needed:

Must have excellent interpersonal skills, organizational skills, and a positive personality and demeanor. Able to approach and welcome all types of people.

Benefit:

Volunteer groups will have the opportunity to work closely together to problem solve, be creative and execute a fun event, spend time with new people, and help provide a fun experience to low-income seniors.
