Organization Information

Mission Statement

To build an engaged, caring community of members who want to remain in their homes as they age. To provide members with opportunities to make and strengthen social connections, explore educational and cultural activities, and engage in shared interests with friends. To provide volunteers who perform services that help members remain in their homes with dignity.

Description

Bethesda Metro Area Village is a small grassroots neighborhood organization that matches volunteers with seniors aging in place at home.

Volunteers can also choose to help as a driver (driving seniors to or from doctor's appointments, etc) , absent owner services (such as watering plants or picking up packages) or to do light home repair tasks (such as lifting boxes, fixing door hinges, hanging drapes, etc), limited snow removal, or provide limited technical assistance for computers and other devices.

Volunteer service providers can be any age (over 18), and do not have to be members of BMAV themselves. You choose which service requests you would like to accept - there is no requirement to take any minimum number of requests and you do what is convenient for you. Most requests are on weekdays but there is great flexibility in dates.

An application and background check is required and training is provided.
