Help protect seniors by becoming a YardBuster!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Cultivate

Enjoy the outdoors while helping a senior or adult with disabilities with yard maintenance. April to October, volunteers for YardBusters by Boulder County CareConnect will remove intrusive overgrowth surrounding the house to prevent seniors from receiving city fines and to reduce falling risks. Our goal is to help seniors in need, especially those unable to maintain their own yards, remain as safe as possible on their own property. Scheduling is flexible, and YardBusters is a great activity for families or small groups.

Mission Statement

Cultivate helps seniors flourish through active engagement with their community.

Description

For 50 years, Cultivate has dedicated itself to helping seniors flourish through active engagement with their communities. Volunteers can work directly with seniors or in other program support positions. Some people volunteer for one day; others sign on for years. Volunteers are always welcome! Our volunteers support our senior neighbors through the following programs:

Carry-Out Caravan - Grocery order-taking, shopping and delivery
Fix-It - Minor home repair including grab bar installation
VetsGo - Transportation for senior veterans and their senior family members to their medical appointments
SnowBusters - Snow shoveling in winter to help prevent falls and municipal citations
YardBusters - Yard cleanup to help prevent falls and municipal citations.

By providing services at no cost, Cultivate helps seniors remain independent, yet connected, within their communities. Beyond the medical rides, groceries or other services, Cultivate volunteers provide something even more transformational - reprieve from isolation. Both clients and volunteers benefit from the socialization with one another, and family members enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are receiving much needed services from caring members of the community.
