Are you passionate about positively impacting the lives of Older Adults in your community? Join our team of dedicated volunteers at our Adult Day Services Program to assist and create meaningful moments for our Older Adults diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or other forms of Dementia. The program runs from 9:30 A.M to 2:15 P.M every Monday to Friday. We are currently in need of volunteers for Fridays of the week. Volunteer Responsibilities: Assist in breakfast and lunch services. Engage in activities with the Older Adults Foster meaningful conversation and relationship Because our volunteers in the Adult Day program work with an elderly vulnerable population, we require a PPD test to ensure that the volunteer is not carrying latent tuberculosis. To volunteer you must: Obtain a PPD skin test from your doctor. Submit a negative test result from the last six months. Your commitment as a volunteer will make a world of difference to the lives of our seniors. By joining our team, you’ll be providing vital care and support to the needs of the older adults in our community.

Older adults in Jackson Heights, Queens who need someone to visit them. (More than one volunteer is needed). If you have an hour a week you could dedicate to these lonely seniors, please contact me! Friendly visiting is an easy, fun, rewarding way to become involved in your community. Friendly Visitors are volunteers who visit homebound seniors for about an hour each week in their homes. Volunteers reduce feelings of isolation, and help improve seniors' mental and physical health. Seniors are able to stay in their homes and communities longer. Volunteers can dramatically improve the quality of a seniors' life.
