I am interested on volunteering for home bound seniors near my neighborhood. My email is sunshinearizona@yahoo.com

This is such a wonderful program! There are so many seniors that need assistance, and they are so thankful when you spend time with them.

It is a blessing to be able to relieve the stress of a senior citizen who is unable to drive themselves to a medical appointment, and get to know them!

My mother is aging into her late 80's and is blessed with family nearby who help her live on her own. So many folks have virtually no one they can count on. AIL has given me an opportunity to help people in my community. It really is neighbors helping neighbors!

I love the flexibility and variety of volunteer opportunities- it allows me to fit it into my hectic schedule. The opportunities are sent out via email and I can sign up as I am able. If I can't do it, I just delete the email, no pressure or trouble.
The seniors are well-prepared by the AIL staff when I arrive for grocery shopping or transportation to a doctor's appointment, and they are always grateful for the help.
Volunteering with seniors has made me feel good, connected, and young (they call me kiddo without a hint of sarcasm!) I'd never worked with seniors before and I'm really enjoying it. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I am currently a Volunteer for AIL through NAU's Senior Companion Volunteer Program and, just to see the smiles on the faces of my seniors is worth it all! I love each one of them so much, for me, they are my family. Being a Volunteer has been very rewarding! It has been almost 2 years since I started volunteering & as long as I have breath & energy in me, I can truly see myself doing this the rest of my life!

As a volunteer since 2009, I've met clients who have much to offer in the way of life experiences; they just need someone to hear them. AIL hears them and addresses their needs while allowing them to maintain their dignity. It's been a wonderful experience.

This is a very well organized group and a wonderful way to help our precious senior citizens live independent lives. I find it very rewarding.

I love to help ohers, especially the elderly. Too often they are looked past,or maybe too proud to ask for help. Offering my assistance to them is an important aspect of my life.
