Volunteer Opportunity: Make a Difference in the Lives of Older Adults!

Are you looking to give back to your community and make a meaningful impact? Join us at Village in the Ville, located in Clintonville, Ohio. We support and enrich the lives of older adults as part of the Greater Columbus Network of Villages. We’re looking for compassionate, dedicated volunteers who understand that we all have something to give and all of us, at some point, will have something we need.

Volunteer Opportunities Available:

Companionship & Social Engagement: Spend time with older adults, provide companionship, and engage in fun activities like playing games, reading, or simply chatting.

Assistance with Daily Activities: Help older adults with tasks such as grocery shopping, meal preparation, or light housekeeping.

Transportation Support: Provide safe rides to appointments, social events, or community activities.

Community Event Support: Assist in organizing and running events that promote socialization, health, and well-being for older adults.

Handyman: Assist with small home modifications.

Tech Support: Help neighbors learn to use their available technology.

Gardening and yard care: Help a neighbor maintain their yard, including gardening, weeding, lawn mowing, or leaf raking.

Snow Removal: During the winter help clear safe paths for older adults to get out and about.

Why Volunteer with Us?

Make a Positive Impact: Volunteers are fundamental for ensuring that our older neighbors can age-in-place - that is, in their homes and our community for as long as possible!

Flexible Hours: We offer various shifts to fit your schedule.

Training & Support: We provide all necessary training and ongoing support to ensure you feel confident in your role.

Meet New People: Connect with other volunteers and community members while giving back.

Feel the Gratitude: There’s nothing more rewarding than knowing you’ve made a difference in someone’s day.

No prior experience necessary! We just ask for a kind heart and willingness to help.

If you’re ready to make a difference and bring joy to the lives of older adults, we’d love to hear from you.
