Essential Transportation & Shopping Companion
Getting started as a volunteer with us is simple and flexible. First, we’ll have a friendly 15–45 minute phone call to learn more about you and help find the program that’s the best fit. Afterwards, we’ll need a few pieces of information from you, such as your vulnerable sector police check. To make sure you feel confident in your role, you’ll complete a one-hour online training session that’s self-directed and can be done at your own pace. Once that’s done, you’ll be ready to start making a difference in the lives of seniors in our community!
Many companies offer volunteer matching programs—donating funds based on the hours their employees volunteer. Check with your employer to see if your time can double the impact!
