NeighborLink Indianapolis(NLI) 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.
Project Leads are key volunteers for NLI and own the planning, execution, and communication to everyone involved to ensure we have a successful project and satisfied stakeholders. They're responsible for assessing the scope of projects, determining materials, supplies, number of volunteers/days needed as well as if experienced or semi-skilled help is needed. The Project Lead is also responsible for securing all materials/supplies for a project, ensuring delivery of the supplies/materials to the site in advance of the start of the project(including coordinating use of the trailer and hauling at end of a project as needed) and engaging the Site Manager to manage the work and volunteers onsite the day of the project.
If you have strong organizational skills, are detail-oriented, interested in leadership opportunities as a volunteer, and knowing that at the end of the day, the work you do is making a difference to at-risk homeowners, this could be the volunteer opportunity for you.

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.
