Join the PNA’s trail-blazing efforts to create a dementia-friendly community through our enrichment class, the Gathering Place - now virtually! Our volunteer Team Members help engage participants with Early Stage Memory Loss (ESML) to help them learn strategies for living with memory loss and combat the negative effects of social isolation in a safe and supportive environment. Classes are typically (online) on Tuesdays from 1 to 3PM (you work one per month), with occasional meetings with our staff. Ideal candidates have some experience working with seniors or an interest in working with people with ESML, and are at least 21 years old. Volunteer application, background check and confidentiality form required, yearlong commitment requested. Must have device and internet connection.

Volunteers needed to help members one-on-one with their smart phones, tablets, laptops or eReaders. Questions are usually pretty basic: how to attach a photo to an email, how to set up an Instagram account, how to follow the Pope on Twitter, etc. Flexible schedule (you pick a mutually convenient time). Background check required & 6-month commitment requested. Great for high school students looking for an ongoing position. In these times of distancing, mentoring sessions are held virtually or on the phone. When we are able to safely gather, we expect some sessions to resume in-person meetings. Most often, in-person sessions are held at the Greenwood Senior Center, M-F between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm If you are interested in this opportunity for service hours, this is a great direct-service, intergenerational, opportunity. We’ve found volunteers are most successful when they are able to make a longer-termed commitment (6+ months) in order to accumulate the number of required hours. To give you an idea of how many hours you might get, we generally get 8 to 10 requests for help per month, and currently have a pool of about 15 volunteers.

We’ve got who-zits & what-zits a-plenty in the PNA Tool Library! We are looking for volunteers with strong customer service and computer skills, for this volunteer position in our reimagined Tool Library. Volunteers will check membership status, check tools out and in, and collect donations. This is an in-person opportunity. We are working to make our space safe and our program sustainable, and appreciate your support as we figure things out. Wearing a clean mask and sanitizing your hands are required for entry, and we will be limiting the number of people in our space at any given time. The PNA Tool Library is open Saturdays from 9 to 1PM (volunteer shifts from 8:30 to 11AM and 11AM to 1:30PM), and will expand hours as our volunteer staff and demand increase. Some experience will tools helpful, but not required. Volunteer application, background check, confidentiality form and training required.

Musicians & performers wanted! Please join us in building community, one mini-concert at a time, by joining our team of outdoor musicians and performers. Our vision is for each mini-concert to be 10 to 20-ish minutes long (you can decide the length of time) in the front yard, driveway or other appropriately-distanced outdoor location from one of our neighbor’s front door. Performers must provide their own equipment, including a chair, if needed, and transportation. Audience members should wear a mask throughout the experience, and performers should distance at least 10 feet. We will match performers with concert hosts, and you will decide on a mutually agreeable date and time together. Locations are generally in North-Northwest Seattle. These mini-concerts are intended to replace the indoor performances we have historically hosted at our senior center. Last year's performers loved being in front a live - albeit small - audience.
