Are you a compassionate LGBTQIA+ ally who loves spending time with older adults?

Rainbow Respite
is a new opportunity to specifically help caregivers and/or older adults who identify as LGBTQIA+ in our community.

Through this new initiative of Volunteers of America's Caring Companions, you can provide friendship to an older adult while providing respite care to a caregiver for a couple of hours a week. This break can be a huge help to the caregiver and provide socialization and improved mental health to the older adult.

We provide extra training for our Rainbow Respite volunteers and cover the unique challenges that LGBTQIA+ older adults and their families experience from past to present.

Rainbow Respite truly is a unique and meaningful volunteer opportunity that makes a beautiful impact in our community. Reach out to us today to get started!
